This is the 19th most frequent German word.
wird
"wird" = "becomes" or auxiliary verb for forming the future tense.
'Wird' operates as a part of the passive voice construction in the present tense, combined with the past participle 'gemacht' (done).
Die Aufgabe wird von den Schülern gemacht.
The task is being done by the students.
In this case, 'wird' indicates a state of change in the subject, followed here by an adjective to show a progressive transformation.
Er wird immer nervöser, je länger er wartet.
He becomes more nervous the longer he waits.
Here, 'wird' is the auxiliary verb used to form the future tense in German, functioning alongside the infinitive verb 'sein' (to be).
