Answer:

  1. Ich gehe mit meinem Freund spazieren.
  2. Wir gehen in der Stadt spazieren.
  3. Du gehst im Einkaufszentrum spazieren.
  4. Sie gehen auf dem Oktoberfest spazieren.

Step-by-step explanation:

For German, the second verb in a sentence (if it has one) goes to the very end. For example, instead of directly saying "I go walk with my friend" in German, you say "I go with my friend walk". The verb that goes to the end in these kinds of sentences keep their 'en' form and don't change as a result from the subject.

(In these sentences, the prepositional phrases could be swapped with others. It doesn't change the grammar. It's only the first verb you use that's dependant on the subject.)

  1. Considering you're referring to 'I'/yourself with 'ich', you use verbs without the 'n' at the end. As a result, you use 'gehe' instead of 'gehen'.
  2. Considering you're referring to 'we' with 'wir', you're referring to multiple people. As a result, you keep the 'n' at the end of 'gehen'.
  3. Considering you're referring to 'you' with 'du', you're referring to only one person. As a result, you remove 'en' from 'gehen' and add 'st' to the end of it.
  4. Considering you're referring to 'they' with 'Sie', you're referring to multiple people. As a result, you keep the 'n' at the end of 'gehen'.
