(page 129) --- The modal verbs können (to be able, can), wollen (to want), mögen (to like) Study the discussion of the modal verbs, paying particular attention to the following: 1. There is no ending on the ich and er, sie, es forms. We normally use the e ending for the ich form, and the t ending for the er,sie,es. Not here. 2.The singular forms use a different vowel from the formal and plural forms. 3. Modals are usually followed by a second verb. That second verb will be in the infinitive form and will come at the end of the sentence. Let's practice these verbs by doing exercise 2. |
|
(page 130) --- Übung 2 -- Pläne und Fähigkeiten ( Plans and abilities) What are the following people able to do (können) or want to do (wollen) ? Choosing from the verbs, I have created a series of sentences using the modals. Open the English sentences and create the German equivalents. The English equivalents page could become an exam page. |
|
(page 110) --- Grammatik 3.1 -- Talente und Pläne (Talents and plans) Make sure you know what everything means, and be able to put the sentences back into German from the English equivalents. |
|
(page 130) --- 3.2 The modal verbs -- müssen (must, to have to), sollen (should), dürfen (may, to be permitted to) These verbs exhibit the same irregularities I discussed in for the
other three modals on page 129. Study the forms of these three verbs
and their use on page 113. |
|
(page 113) --- Grammatik 3.2 -- Pflichten (obligations) Make sure you know what everything means, and be able to put the sentences back into German from the English equivalents. |
|
(page 116) --- Situation 8 -- Stefans Zimmer (Stephan's room) Stephan's mother is coming to visit. What must Stefan do? Go to the English sentences to see exactly what Stefan must do. Then pick expressions from the box to create the German sentences. |
|
(page 132) --- 3.3 Accusative case: personal pronouns Study the discussion on pages 132 and 133; then try a few exercises. |
|
(page 134) --- Übung 7 -- Was machen diese Personen? (What are these people doing?) These people are not doing what the question asks. Using the verbs provided, indicate what they are doing. For meaning, check the English version of the exercise. |
|
(page 118) --- Situation 9 -- Minidialoge -- Was paßt? (What fits?) Match the statements on the left and the responses on the right. Use the English equivalents if you need help. |
|
(page 135) --- 3.4 Word order: dependent clauses Study the discussion and the examples for an understanding of the word
order used in dependent clauses. Then do exericises 8 and 9 to reinforce
the concept. |
|
(page 135) --- Übung 8 -- Warum denn? (Why then?) Answer the questions using the expressions on the left. You might need to check the English sentences to guide you through the exercise. |
|
(page 136) --- Übung 9 -- Ist das immer so? (Is that always so?) Using the English sentences as your guide, line up the expressions on the left and those on the right. |
|
