We've got English, German and French in high school, so we're pretty much just forced to learn those languages.

The only thing I learnt in French was how to order a burger then eat it. D:

[Sneed]

[Luke Nukem]

PeuX je veuillez prendre un hamburger de fromage. j'ai alors mange l'hamburger de fromage.

I failed my oral twice then got moved down to a lower set then stopped and went to this maths class because I was failing maths

So, can you guys explain to me the word variations that apply to basic words, as in when you change the 'en' on the end of words and similar? How does this change the word?

Example:

rennen = to run

Ich renne sehr schnell. (I'm running very fast)
Er ist am rennen (He's running)

Do you mean this?

Hmmm, kinda. More, what does the EN actually mean in terms of the word? Because this can be changed or removed depending on the context from what I saw. So what is the difference between them? i.e. What does Renne mean, compared to rennen? and the other variations of the word,

'Cause that's one of the things if I can learn the right context it'll save a lot of time in learning new words

[CarPileUp]

renne and rennen is the same

You say renne when you want to add how you are running. e.g. "very fast"

"Ich renne sehr schnell". You can't say "Ich rennen sehr schnell".

When you just want to say "I'm running":

Ich renne.

Well it's quiet hard to teach you this, because there are still hundreds of exceptions here and such

So in what context would you use words with EN and without EN?

Ich tue() rennen or simply "Ich renne". (I'm running)

I hope you are joking.

For Car's example it's like this.

We don't use something like is/are/am, so we model the verb in our sentence, depending on singular and plural.

I am running
Ich ___ Renne

We are running
Wir rennen

Normalerweise meidet man: "tun" und "tue".
Er soll schließlich nicht wie ein Kind reden, das nicht weiß wie man den Satzbau korrekt aufbaut :\

So...

Ich spiele, or Wir spielen. Wir maggen rennen, or Ich mag renne ?

Is that how you use it? Or does it not apply to all the words in the sentence?

Ich spiele, or Wir spielen. Correct

Wir maggen rennen

It's "mögen" not "maggen".

First two were correct, but it's "mögen" not "maggen" Modeling works different in some cases

And it's "Ich mag Rennen", because in this case it wouldn't be a verb anymore, it's a noun (Das Rennen)
It's like a gerund in your language (To Run [verb] -> Running [noun])
