When you want to talk about
something you've done or something that has happened, ie events in the
past, in some cases you need to use sein - 'to be', plus the past
participle, ie geboren to form the
Perfekt tense.
This is true for a specific
number of common verbs which express either a change of place or a change of
state, for example kommen, gehen, fahren,
fliegen... Other verbs use haben
- 'to have' - to form the Perfekt
tense.
