Starke Verben
Now we are going to work a little more in detail with the strong verbs. See if you can identify the infinitve (base form) for each past participle by reading the present tense sentence and then the Perfekt tense one.
You probably are going to ask: "Why does the verb "sein" use "sein" as its helping verb and not "haben"? I thought the "sein"-verbs had to show "change of location or condition," and "to be" certainly does not fit that criterion." You're right, of course, and that brings us to another one of those "details" we hinted at earlier. There are two "sein"-verbs that do not fit that criterion. They are "sein (ist gewesen)" and "bleiben (ist geblieben)," Be sure to make a note of them in your list of participles.
