When in German you find two infinitive verbs in the same sentence, the sentence contains of a double infinitive.
The double infinity is used with certain verbs, especially with modal verbs, when these are conjugated to compound times (Perfekt, Plusquamperfekt) or to Futur I. Let's see in the following chapters how you should use the double infinitive in different situations.
Take online language lessons with a professional teacher
The double infinitive is used in combination with the following verbs. Keep in mind, that when there are three verbs in the sentence, only one of them is conjugated.
Verb | Example | Translation |
---|---|---|
With modal verbs:
|
|
|
With verbs that do not hold the infinitive with zu:
|
|
|
With other verbs such as:
|
|
|
With verbs of motion (which don't hold an infinitive with 'zu'):
|
|
|
The verbs you can find in the table above, can be used alone or in a verb group. But with the past participle, we always use the double infinitive.
The double infinitive is therefore always used with a past form of a modal verb. See some examples in the table below:
Verb | Example with double infinitive | Example without double infinitive | Translation |
---|---|---|---|
müssen | Ich habe den Wagen reparieren müssen. | Ich musste den Wagen reparieren. | I had to fix the car. |
wollen | Wir haben ihr helfen wollen. | Wir wollten ihr helfen. | We had wanted to help her - We wanted to help her. |
können | Ich habe ihn nicht treffen können. | Ich konnte ihn nicht treffen. | I couldn't meet him. |
sehen | Wir haben ihn fallen sehen. | Wir sahen ihn fallen. | We had seen him falling. - We saw him falling. |
lassen | Du hast dir die Haare schneiden lassen. | Du ließt dir die Haare schneiden. | You got your hair cut. |
It is the same thing, when we use the Futur I. With the simple Futur I you have to use the double infinitive at the end. In the table below, you will have some examples.
Example | Translation |
---|---|
Die Frau wird ihren Mann schnarchen hören. | The women will hear her husband snore. |
Er wird nicht spielen können. | He won't be able to play. |
Ihr werdet etwas kaufen müssen. | You will have to buy something. |
Since the position of the verbs change, according to whether they are in the main or in the subordinate clause, we will have a look at both cases in the following chapters.
In the main sentence, the double infinity is at the end of the sentence, while the auxiliary is always in second position (not necessarily after the subject).
Example | Translation |
---|---|
Wir haben das Auftragsformular ausfüllen müssen. | We had to fill in the order sheet. |
Gestern haben wir das Kind weinen hören. | Yesterday, we heard the child crying. |
Wir werden Lena den Schlüssel suchen helfen. | We will help Lena to find her key. |
In the secondary (subordinate) sentence the double infinity is always placed at the end of the sentence, while the conjugated auxiliary is in front of the double infinity (at the third last place).
Be careful: Usually the conjugated auxiliary in subordinates is in the last position. In this type of proposition it is in the third last place.
Example | Translation |
---|---|
Sie behaupten, dass sie es nicht haben machen können. | They claim, that they couldn't have done it. |
Wir wissen nicht, ob er in die Schweiz hat fahren müssen. | We don't know, if we had to go to Swiss. |
Er hat gesagt, dass er das Kind nicht hat weinen hören. | He said, that he did not hear the child crying. |
Fill in the gaps by deciding on which is correct, using the present perfect (Perfekt) or the double infinitive. If you are not sure, you can have a look again at the chapter about the double infinitive in German or at the chapter about the present perfect in German.
Example: Ich habe meine Haare schneiden lassen. (I got my hair cut.)
1. Die Jugendliche hat nicht auf die Party gehen . (dürfen) (The teenager was not allowed to go to the party.)
2. Die Schüler haben einen Test schreiben . (müssen) (The pupils had to write a test.)
3. Ich habe ihn gestern . (gesehen) (I saw him yesterday.)
4. Meine Mutter hat diesen Film . (mögen) ( My mother liked this film.)
5. Wir haben ihn schreien . (hören) (We heard him screaming.)
6. Er behauptet, dass er nicht habe kommen . (He claims that he could not have come.)
7. Wer hat das wissen ? (Who could have known that?)
8. Ich habe so etwas schon immer machen . (I always wanted to do something like this.)
9. Ich hätte lieber Nudeln . (I would rather have eaten noodles.)

Hi! I am Maaike, a Dutch primary school teacher. Every day I'm doing by best to teach the Dutch language well to the childeren, but also other languages such as English and Spanish.
I have more than 12 years of experience as a teacher, in the Netherlands and abroad, to young and old!
In the Netherlands I have experience in each grade, so I know exactly how the Dutch language is given in primary education. This can certainly help children, but also adults who want to learn the Dutch language in a correct way, having a good basic knowledge is the most important part of learning a new language.
I lived in Spain for 3 years where I taught English to Spanish children and adults. During that period I also followed an intensive language course to learn the Spanish language. Currently I am learning Nepali through Skype. I know what it is like to learn a new language, what it involves and how the learning process works.
I will first discuss with you what you would like to achieve by following the language lessons and what your needs are. Maybe it's just speaking skills, or grammar or listening skills, or a combination. In addition, I want to use my creativity to apply methods that work best for you, personalized language classes. :)
My goal is to give you the feeling after each class that you've come one step closer to your personal goal!
Feel free to request a trial class, so we can see what I can do for you and if my way of teaching suits you. See you soon! :)

Hello,
my name is Veronika and I am a student in Florence at the academy of fine arts. I have been in Italy for three years and I really like the Italian language. In school i learned english and during journeys i used to speak a lot of english so i'm also able to teach in english.
I am from Germany so I am a German native speaker. I have already taught German to some of my friends and would love to teach my language to more people as well. At the beginning I would like to do grammar lessons and the most used words to deepen the basic knowledge of the language. Then I will continue to have conversations in German to increase vocabulary and to give confidence in dialogue and in any case in speaking the language in real scenarios. The most important thing by learning a new language is to learn it through hearing and speaking. Being difficult at first to formulate sentences will then become easier and easier and thus you arrive at a fluent and confident way to speak the new language.
For myself I learned Italian three years ago with this method so I also know what it is like to learn a language and I can help you with my teaching to learn German that way.
I can not wait to start!
greetings Veronika

Learning a foreign language is a beautiful and awe-inspiring journey which is not strange to me.
Growing in Europe and living in Canada has shaped my thinking abilities to see beyond the surface of individual’s potential to study. It remodeled my senses in a special way to be able to respond with tact and compassion to the needs of my students. In the same time it taught me the value of persistence and creativity. These abilities have helped me to master the art of teaching. Every student makes me a better friend, family member and a person.
So far, I've helped different age groups to converse freely, to read, understand and love both English and Bulgarian. Beside that, my students not just improve their grades at school. Some of them became English teachers themselves.
No two students are exactly alike. That's why I mostly use personalized learning method. It builds a learning experience that addresses the unique abilities of each student.
Another method of teaching that I use is Learning by experiment. In that way students learn by doing. I create experiences for them to see the concepts in action. I found out that students tend to remember better when they see and then discuss what they learn from what they saw.
Beside these methods you will enjoy Modeling, Mistakes, Feedback and one of my top methods: Lesson Objective Transparency. When I clearly state my lesson goals and write it on the board, then you will feel relax because you will know what you are working towards.
Please, be assured you won’t regret giving me the opportunity to help you!

I have been teaching English to students online as well as in classrooms primarily out of passion and love for teaching English and helping the students overcome their difficulties and lack of confidence/ motivation towards using English in their every day lives. My average rating happens to be 4.99/5 with 5 star reviews on English teaching websites such as www.engoo.com and https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/.

Hi, I am Christin!
After training as a pastry chef and studying business administration, I traveled a lot and discovered my interest in languages. To find out more about teaching languages, I decided on further training at the Goethe Institute and completed it. During the Goethe Institute "Learn to teach German" course I was able to give individual language lessons and actively support the examination preparation for the Goethe certificate.
My lessons are needs-oriented. That means that learning goals are discussed with you and based on your level of knowledge. Whether grammar, sentence structure, pronunciation, expression or the practice of communication situations: German as a foreign and second language classes are flexible and take place in a group or one-to-one lessons with individual support and are based on your wishes and requirements. The teaching of content and topics takes place according to the respective language level. Building vocabulary, grammar and means of speaking are structured and conveyed logically building on each other. Let's get to know each other in a free trial class. I am looking forward to meeting you!

Hello, Wie gehts? Ich heiße Anna! What can I say? Learning German language isn´t easy but I´m happy to say that I´ve chosen the right teacher for me. She is very nice and patient. She happily answered all my questions and explain things in a way you can understand easily. She gives you different homeworks in which sometimes I can´t submit on time because I´m currently undergoing surgery and therapy but she is so understanding about it. Now, I somewhat understand some German writings I´ve read without translating it, and i´m just so happy that I am making progress. Thanks Christin!

I am a native German speaker and am teaching English and German as foreign languages. I have got a teaching degree and have been teaching English and German for more than two years to all levels and age groups.
I personally prefer to speak in the learning language as much as possible and to focus on all four skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Moreover, I like to cover practical topics that can be used in your everyday life and make classes as diverse and dynamic as possible. Nevertheless, I am always open-minded to suggestions coming from students.
Concerning materials I like to use a course book and in addition worksheets, audios, videos, etc.
In case you have got any further questions, don't hesitate to contact me :)

Since I learn languages myself, I know the difficulties and hurdles that can arise when learning a foreign language. I take away your fear of using the German language, because the best way to learn a language is to speak it!
You want to take a telc or Goethe exam? I will help you! I teach from level B1 to C2. In the course of my teaching I have specialised in students and adult learners from the age of 19 who want to take one of these exams for professional or private reasons.
If you only want to prepare orally for an exam with me, I offer conversation lessons where I give you strategies and tips on how to pass the exam. You will do a lot of speaking and learn the phrases that are most important for the exam at your level.
I'll also show you how to integrate German into your everyday life, recommend podcasts, books and series to expand your vocabulary.
Are you looking for a job and need help with your application? No problem, I give you application training, revise your CV with you and write applications together with you. I will also prepare you for your job interviews.
Don't be shy and write to me before you book a trial lesson. Together we will work out a syllabus that is tailored to your needs and goals. We will learn what is important for you at this stage and where I see room for improvement. I adapt each lesson individually to you.
Due to my eight-year stay abroad in Ireland, I have a very good knowledge of English and can also explain something to you in English or Spanish, but in my lessons we almost only speak German together.
What can you expect in my lessons?
- Creative and professional preparation for telc or Goethe from B1 level upwards
- Conversation classes
- Language lessons individually adapted to your needs, each lesson is prepared for you individually
- Application training and help with application letters, revision of your CV
- Grammar explanations that YOU just need.
- Quizzes, puzzles, worksheets, books, conversation topics and much more. Learning should be fun!
The most important thing is that you invest a little time and feel like learning with me. In return, you should also do the homework so that we can make good progress. I will be happy to correct it. Let me inspire you!
