Usage notes

 * Traditionally, has been a weak verb in standard German with a regular past subjunctive . However, the irregular form  has since found its way from the dialects into the standard. It is already the only common form in spoken German, and is gradually becoming dominant in writing as well (although some grammars may still discourage this usage).
 * If the verb is used with another verb in the perfect or pluperfect tense, the infinitive replaces the past participle.
 * In colloquial German, the verb may be even further assimilated to modal verbs by taking a bare infinitive instead of a zu infinitive ( instead of standard ) and sometimes by taking an endingless third-person singular present (, instead of ). Both of these are properties of modal verbs, cf. er gehen, er  bleiben.
