Grammar in context
These are the two patterns doing the most work in this lesson. Learn them as reusable sentence frames, not as isolated rules.
ich heiße
German introductions often begin with ich heiße plus your name.
ich komme aus
This frame lets you say where you come from with very little extra grammar.
