This video introduces the perfect tense in German as the main past tense. It explains the two elements required (helping verb and past participle), both in general and in detail, gives clues as to how to recognise regular (weak) and irregular (strong) verbs and gives examples of sentences with two different verbs. Apologies for my pronunciation of "participle"; I got into a bad habit early on in my language learning of emphasising the second rather than the first syllable.
