Shopping-related Verbs
There are a lot of verbs that have to do with shopping for clothes. The most prominent are listed below.
anziehen – to put on (clothes)
aussehen – to appear
nehmen – to take
wollen – to want (somewhat impolite)
These verbs are used often, so it is necessary to learn them. Among them are separable verbs, irregular verbs, and modals.
Separable Verbs
Anprobieren, aussehen and anziehen are separable verbs.
It is easy to see this, as they each have a prefix of ‘aus’ or ‘an’. When using the verb as the main verb of a sentence,
separate the prefix and put it at the end of the sentence. When the verb is in infinitive form, leave it just as you see it.
Irregular Verbs
Ausehen and nehmen are the two irregular verbs on this list. Both experience a change in the first ‘e’ in the du-form and er/sie/es-form.
Du siehst … aus und er/sie/es sieht … aus. Du nimmst und er/sie/es
nimmt.
Modals
Möchten and wollen are the two modals introduced here.
Modals are similar to the helping verbs in English and cause the other verb to go to the end in the infinitive form.
They also have a strange conjugation. Möchten changes in er/sie/es form to möchte (the same as the ich-form).
In fact all modals have the same er/sie/es-form and ich-form.
Wollen is like most other modals: it has a different vowel in singular and plural, except when using formal you.
Ich will (not to be confused with future tense), du willst, er/sie/es will, wir wollen, ihr
wollt, und sie/Sie wollen.
