The two most important German verbs are haben (to have) and sein (to be). As in most languages, the verb 'to be' is one of the oldest verbs in German, and therefore one of the most irregular. The verb 'to have' is only slightly less irregular, but no less vital to surviving speaking German.

The verb “To be” is said to be the most protean of the English language, constantly changing form, sometimes without much of a discernible pattern. Considering that we use it so often, it is really too bad that the verb “To be” has to be the most irregular, slippery verb in the language.
