Usage notes

[edit]

Theperfect tense passive is formed usingzijn, whileworden matches Englishcontinuous constructions in meaning. Therefore, as in usage 2 above,
1. Zeworden gered. translates to “Theyare being saved.”
2. Zewerden gered. translates to “Theywere being saved.”
3. Consequently,Zezijn gered. andZewaren gered. would be translated as “Theyhave been saved.” and “Theyhad been saved.” respectively.

Etymology

[edit]

The prefixge- was originally a marker of theperfective aspect. As such it was principally not added to verbs likewerden that were by definition (mostly) perfective. (Remnants of this distinction are still found in dialects; compareLuxembourgishbruecht,fonnt,komm.) In modern German, all verbs with initial stress take the prefixge-. The exception ofworden haseuphonic reasons, because as an auxiliary it is always combined with another past participle. This distinction betweengeworden (full verb) andworden (auxiliary) fully established itself only during the 19th century, however.

worden

Usage notes

[edit]

Used in forming the passive of theperfect tenses. In other cases, the past participle isgeworden.
In older German, this distinction was not always maintained, andworden could be used as the past participle for all senses.
