Verb Types
Separable, reflexive, imperative and fixed prepositions
Beyond conjugation, German verbs come in a few shapes that change the SENTENCE around them. Separable verbs break in half and throw their prefix to the end. Reflexive verbs drag a pronoun along. The imperative moves the verb to the front. And a large group of verbs is welded to one specific preposition that you must learn with the verb. None of these are hard individually. What makes them feel hard is that each one rearranges the sentence in its own way.
Persian has separable-feeling compound verbs too — «بر میدارم», «کمک میکنم» — so the idea of a split verb is not foreign. The difference is distance: German throws the prefix to the very END of the sentence, however long it is. Ich stehe jeden Morgen um halb sieben AUF. Getting comfortable with that long gap is the whole skill.
