If we don't think carefully about this, 🤔 we will often just assume that we can use the new tools (verb forms) just like we did in our native language. As adults, there is a massive temptation to shove the new verb forms into the categories that we have in our own language, and to try to use tools like we did before. We can think we know the tool, but because it's actually different we end up using it wrongly by accident and sometimes even cause damage!

For example, you may have met a German who's learned excellent English, but when the doorbell rings they jump up and say, _"I get the door!"_ 🔔🚪🏃‍♂️. In English you have to use a different verb form and say, "I'll get the door." But they're so used to using their trusty German tool (the Präsens) for everything that saying "I get the door" still "feels right" to them, even though it's completely wrong. Taking careful stock of a new set of tools (verb forms) in a language can keep us from mistakes like this. 🧰🤓👍 For example, you may have met a German who's learned excellent English, but when the doorbell rings they jump up and say, _"I get the door!"_ 🔔🚪🏃‍♂️.
