Homework for Tuesday 17th September
(next lesson): Learn to say each of the
phrases on the new mini-phrase sheet of things to say in the
classroom. This is the sheet with “You are a big cheater!” on
it.
Then:
1. Slide 3 on ppt handout (Was muss es sein?) - work out the answers to the sums and
write the answers in words, not numbers.
2. Slide 4 on handout (Korrigiere mich) - Spot the mistakes in the sentences: the number
after each one shows how many mistakes there are to find.
3. Using the slips with the names of the countries on and the two maps, label the maps
with the names of the countries. You could use your planner to help identify the country
(in English!) before writing the German name for it.
4. Slide 6 - there are two words for “to go”: fahren is to go if you are in or on a vehicle with
wheels or a motorised vehicle. “gehen” is if you go by foot.
You will remember from last year that these verbs conjugate like this:
I go ich fahre ich gehe
you (friend) du f ährst du gehst
he/she/it/one goes er/sie/es/man f ährt er/sie/es/man geht
we go wir fahren wir gehen
you (plural: “you lot”) ihr fahrt ihr geht
you go (polite) Sie fahren Sie gehen >>>Note the capital S
they go sie fahren sie gehen
Learn these please.

2. 5. Slide 10 - German word order means that certain elements have to go in a certain order.
The simple method is: pronoun (person), verb (always goes 2nd in sentence anyway),
time (when it happens) and place. There are some examples on slide 10 of different
time phrases which you can use to show when something happens. We used these last
year when talking about sports and hobbies, so these should not be new to you.
6. Slide 12 - To make sentences more interesting, usually Germans use this word order:
Time Manner Place
This means that instead of the pronoun coming first in the sentence, the Time element
comes first. The verb has to come second but then comes the Manner (extra detail) and
then Place. The examples on Slide 12 show how this works. Write at least 3 examples of
your own in your book of this.
