Assignments  ---  Kapitel 4 - Part 1

This assignment page will tell you what I want you to turn in as homework. Send me those pages marked with an asterisk *.  Be sure to consult the Plan for additional information, including the answers to many exercises..

Study the discussion and the verbs listed at the end of the discussion.

The text provides meanings and an example of the verbs using sein as an auxiliary, but it doesn't provide a similar list for those using haben, at least not in section 4.1 . You will, however, find info on a number of  haben verbs in section 4.2 at the bottom of page 162.
