Perfect Tense vs Past Tense
Perfect tense is simply an helping verb (haben, sein) and past participle. I have taken a picture. Ich habe ein Foto gemacht. My question is, is there a way to write this same sentence in Past tense, with out having to use the helping verb and past participle? (I took a picture, instead of I have taken a picture), or is it obligatory to use the Perfect tense and when. Thanks
