Verbs with an inseparable prefix (nicht–trennbare Verben)
Some verbs have prefixes that do not separate from the verb, but remain with the verb stem when conjugated in the present tense.
Examples:
erklären Sie hat die Lösung zum Problem erklärt. (to explain)
bekommen Ihr habt keine Geschenke bekommen. (to receive/get)
verstehen Die Kinder haben das nicht verstanden. (to understand)
The more common inseparable prefixes are: be, emp, ent, er, ge, hinter, miss, ver, wider, zer.
There are regular, irregular, and mixed verbs containing inseparable prefixes.
