Hรถren
Vor dem Hรถren
In the main lesson, you heard about a Nachbarschaftsgarten and how it came into being. In the following video, you’ll hear a continuation of the story of the garden with more details about what plants they planted. Before you listen, make a list of possible plants and vegetables that might grow in an urban community garden. Write words in German and your native language, and then look up the words you don’t know. After you listen to the video, go back and mark the plants you did hear in the video.
Hรถren
Nach dem Hรถren: Wortschatz
The video clip was long and challenging, so here are large portions of the text to help you out! Use these exercises to build your vocabulary around common garden plants. Which plants are ones you know and like? Do you have any of these in your own garden or do you see any of them in gardens near you? Can you recognize any of them?
Strukturen
Um/Zu
Go back and read the description and examples of um/zu clauses in the main lesson. Then practice with these examples and exercises.
Modal Verbs: A Review
In the previous lessons, we reviewed regular verbs, separable prefix verbs, verbs with stem vowel changes, and a couple of verbs that defy the rules. In this lesson, we’ll be reviewing modal verbs and a few verbs that are commonly used with specific prepositions.
As you may remember from previous units, modal verbs are helping verbs. The modal verbs are:
sollen
wollen
mรผssen
dรผrfen
kรถnnen
mรถgen
When you create a sentence with a modal verb, the modal verb is conjugated and placed where the verb would normally go in the sentence, and the verb that it is helping will go at the end of the sentence in the infinitive (-en) form.
Review and practice modal verbs with the following set of activities.
Verbs with Prepositional Complements
Some verbs are frequently used in combination with a particular preposition. Examples of this in English are: to wait for someone or something, to prepare for something. If you think that you might need to use a verb with a prepositional complement, it’s a good idea to check with a dictionary, either online or paper. Some verbs use more than one preposition, and so you’ll want to be careful that you choose the correct preposition and case for the situation you’re describing.
You may have noticed these combinations as you’ve listened or read German texts. Work through the following slides to learn more.
