| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Albert: When using the verb kommen together with other verbs like “come and see” you always use the infinitive form kommen. For example, kommen und gehen - “come and go”, or kommen und sehen - “come and see”. When you combine verbs in this way, they actually function like a noun! |
