- Some past participles are irregular.
- In the imperfect tense, the stem of 'mögen' is 'moch-'. It still takes the regular imperfect tense endings.
- 'Mochte' is normally followed by a noun.
- In the perfect tense, ‘mögen’ becomes 'gemocht' and means ‘liked’.
- Use 'gefallen' in the perfect tense to mean ‘liked’. Use indirect object pronouns with 'gefallen'.
