das Perfekt mit haben oder sein - You're Doing It WRONG!

The video tutorial clarifies the confusion between using 'sein' and 'haben' in German past tense. It debunks the common misconception that motion verbs use 'sein' and non-motion verbs use 'haben'. Instead, it introduces the correct rule based on transitive and intransitive verbs. Transitive verbs, which require a direct object, use 'haben', while intransitive verbs, which do not, use 'sein'. The tutorial provides examples to illustrate these concepts, helping learners understand the correct application of these verbs in German grammar.
