Common Mistakes

  • Ja, ich geht regelmäßig.

    The verb must agree with the subject *ich*; the correct form is *geh* (or *gehe*).

  • Ja, ich geh regelmässig.

    In Germany the spelling is *regelmäßig* with an ß; *‑ss* is used only in Swiss German.

  • Ja ich geh regelmäßig.

    A comma after *Ja* separates the affirmation from the rest of the sentence.

Cultural Tip

Dropping the final *‑e* in *gehe* (saying *geh*) is common in everyday spoken German, especially among younger speakers. It’s perfectly fine in casual conversation, but in formal writing or presentations you should use the full form *ich gehe*. Also, *regelmäßig* can be combined with many verbs to talk about routines – a useful pattern for sounding natural.
