buried + battery

  • Active: he buried / buried / buried
  • Liabilities: he is buried / was buried / was buried

It is an irregular, strong verb. Your second sentence is grammatically wrong. Correct:

  1. I was buried. (preteriority)
  2. I’ve been buried. (Perfect)

______________________________________________________________________________________________

But what is this sentence? He doesn’t make sense, because you can’t tell yourself you were buried. If you’re dead, you don’t have a voice anymore and can’t tell about your own funeral. Or is this a fantasy story?

But both would rather use “I have been buried”.

Source: Duden spelling examination

The formulation “I have been buried” follows the so-called process-passiv construction, in which the partizip II of the verb “boiled” together with the auxiliary verb “will” is used in perfection. This construction is common in some regions of Germany and in certain dialects.

On the other hand, the wording “I have been buried” follows the standard high-German grammar, in which the partizip II of the verb “boil” is used in perfection with the auxiliary verb “his”.

Both formulations are acceptable and can be used, but the choice depends on personal preferences, regional differences or context.

“I have been buried.” This is grammatically wrong.

Yes I also think, but it is not seen as wrong with the Duden itself and that it is regionally dependent as with many other sentences that are not available in the right standard high German. With us, for example, it would be “I have been buried” and a few kilometers further it is already “I am buried”

Oh, man. I can’t believe it. I just tried that. This spelling program accepts the greatest nonsense, e.g.: “Yesterday a trench has been depleted.” Finally, there was: “Yesterday a tomb has been mixed.” Mixing the trench was a proposal from the Duden. The “en” was not contested, I was only recommended that I maybe (😲🤯?) could also try with small spelling. Yes, and your “grassed” uncle Duden also found quite normal, but “grassed” and “grassed”, he didn’t like it.

Oh, oh! I know why I don’t use all these programs. I always kill the automatic correction when buying a new computer. Sure, that’s what happens to me at times, that I’m tied up and that doesn’t see, but in any case, I’m not going to fix myself in my text.

Where is there something in the Duden that “grabbing” is also possible as participatory 2? I didn’t find it in Duden1 or in Duden4 or 9. This may be so in any dialect, but then we would have to accept that in Bavaria “with the It’s hard to say that in Berlin you’re “car on the roadside” to that it is somewhere “the Butter and the Wä“gen” means that on Platt there is only “de” and “dat”. No, it’s not.

Just noticed at the edge.

This is a special class paradox.
