Conjugation (Indikativ)
PRÄSENS ONLY
Präsens
ich muss
du musst
er/sie/es muss
wir müssen
ihr müsst
sie/Sie müssen
Perfekt, Plusquamperfekt and Futur II aren't shown for this word: müssen uses a substitute infinitive (Ersatzinfinitiv) when it governs another verb ("hat kommen können", not "hat gekonnt"), so a bare tense string here would be misleading. Präsens above is independently verified and always correct.
