| Jun 20 at 22:02 | comment | added | BlauKakaPOW | @hubert-schölnast I'm confused why it's "scheinen...gewesen/geworden"? I thought to form the Perfekt, you could only do that with "sein...gewesen/geworden"? Or is it because "zu sein" is included, that it satisfies that "sein" requirement for Perfekt constructions? | |

Similarly, the English "to seem" requires "to" but auxiliaries and modals do not. (No doubt this a consequence of the languages having a common ancestor.) The examples given illustrate this. | |
