While you&#8217;re not expected to be able to produce this form yet, it will help you understand the text to know what the form is and what it looks like; in other words, being able to recognize this form as past tense will help you with your comprehension. (And don&#8217;t worry\u2014you will learn to produce the past tense soon!)<\/p>\n<p>The structure in question is the perfect tense. It is used to talk about events in the past. This verb form has two parts: a helping verb (<em>haben<\/em> or <em>sein<\/em>) and a past participle. German is not unlike English in this sense, since in English you can say &#8220;I have done my homework&#8221; (<em>have<\/em> is the helping verb, <em>done<\/em> is the past participle) and in German you say &#8220;Ich habe meine Hausaufgaben gemacht&#8221; (<em>habe<\/em> is the helping verb and <em>gemacht<\/em> is the past participle).<\/p>\n<p>How do you know what the verb is when you see the past participle? If you take the stem of the participle and add an -en at the end, you&#8217;ll get the infinitive form. We&#8217;ll explore in the following activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"max-width: 800px;\"><div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"h5p-iframe-37\" class=\"h5p-iframe\" data-content-id=\"37\" style=\"height:1px\" src=\"about:blank\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Vor dem H\u00f6ren - Nachbarschaftsgarten\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<h3>H\u00f6ren<\/h3>\n<p>Listen to the two videos below and then complete the activity that follows!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"VID_Umwelt_Einheit1_Lektion4_Video1\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/302915015?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"VID_Umwelt_Einheit1_Lektion4_Video2\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/302915997?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"max-width: 800px;\">\n<h3>Arbeit mit dem H\u00f6ren<\/h3>\n<div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"h5p-iframe-36\" class=\"h5p-iframe\" data-content-id=\"36\" style=\"height:1px\" src=\"about:blank\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Nachbarschaftsgarten\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<br\/>\r\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a href=\"#top\" class=\"wp-element-button\" style=\"border-radius:10px;\"> zur\u00fcck nach oben<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br\/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lesson-heading strukturen\">\r\n<h2>Strukturen<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>Zu-S\u00e4tze<\/h3>\n<p>Infinitive constructions (to be, to read, to run) work very similarly in English in German. Read over the following examples to see the similarity in patterns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Wir haben vor, einen Garten <strong>zu haben<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<em>We plan <strong>to have<\/strong> a garden.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Wir fangen an, Blumen <strong>zu pflanzen.<br \/>\n<\/strong><em>We&#8217;re starting <strong>to plant<\/strong> flowers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Die Bewohner der Nachbarschaft versuchen, durch einen Garten eine Gemeinschaft <strong>zu bauen<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<em>The residents of the neighborhood are trying <strong>to build<\/strong> a community through the garden.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Frau Lang schl\u00e4gt vor, rosa Rosen zu pflanzen.<br \/>\n<em>Mrs. Lang suggests <strong>to plant<\/strong> pink roses.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, building a <em>zu-Satz<\/em> or an infinitive construction in German is simple: place the word zu in front of the infinitive form of the verb. The infinitive construction goes at the end of the phrase, and a comma is usually placed before the <em>zu-Satz<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3>Um&#8230; zu- S\u00e4tze<\/h3>\n<p>To express the idea that one action has to happen in order for another to happen (&#8220;in order to&#8221;), German uses <em>um&#8230; zu. <\/em>Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Um Pflanzen <strong>zu gie\u00dfen<\/strong> braucht man eine Gie\u00dfkanne.<br \/>\n<em>You need a watering can <strong>to water<\/strong> the plants.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Pflanzen brauchen Sonne, <strong>um zu wachsen<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<em>Plants need sun, <strong>in order to grow<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Note that the <em>um<\/em> introduces the phrase, and the <em>zu<\/em> + infinitive is at the end of the phrase.<\/p>\n<p>Also, note that while in English, you can express the idea of &#8220;in order to&#8221; with a simple infinitive clause (&#8220;I went to the store <em>to buy<\/em> a book&#8221; OR &#8220;I went to the store <em>in order to buy<\/em> a book&#8221;), in German you MUST use an <em>um\/zu<\/em>-construction if the meaning conveys &#8220;in order to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Beispiel: <em>Ich gehe in die Buchhandlung, um ein Buch zu kaufen.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Modal Verbs in German and Infinitives in English<\/h3>\n<p>You have already learned modal verbs. Note that while English uses an infinitive phrase with modal verbs, German does not. In other words, you do NOT need to add a <em>zu<\/em> when you use modal verbs in German. A few examples:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The child <strong>wants to water<\/strong> the plants.<br \/>\n<em>Das Kind <strong>will<\/strong> die Pflanzen <strong>gie\u00dfen<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Somebody <strong>has to water<\/strong> the plants.<br \/>\n<em>Jemand <strong>muss<\/strong> die Pflanzen <strong>gie\u00dfen<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Neighborhood residents <strong>are allowed to take care<\/strong> of a plot.<br \/>\n<em>BewohnerInnen der Nachbarschaft <strong>d\u00fcrfen<\/strong> ein Beet <strong>betreuen<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Practice these constructions with the following activities!<\/p>\n<div class=\"h5p-iframe-wrapper\"><iframe id=\"h5p-iframe-86\" class=\"h5p-iframe\" data-content-id=\"86\" style=\"height:1px\" src=\"about:blank\" frameBorder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"Zu oder nicht\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<br\/>\r\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a href=\"#top\" class=\"wp-element-button\" style=\"border-radius:10px;\"> zur\u00fcck nach oben<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br\/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lesson-heading sprechen\">\r\n<h2>Sprechen<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>Einen Garten planen<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stellen Sie sich vor (imagine), sie wollen einen Garten haben.\u00a0 Planen Sie in einer kleinen Gruppe Ihren Garten.\u00a0 Schreiben Sie Ihre Pl\u00e4ne auf.\u00a0 Sie brauchen diese Pl\u00e4ne vielleicht f\u00fcr eine Schreibaktivit\u00e4t.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Welche Gem\u00fcse- und Obstsorten wollen Sie haben?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Welche Aktivit\u00e4ten soll man in einem Garten machen?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wer macht diese Aktivit\u00e4ten?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<br\/>\r\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a href=\"#top\" class=\"wp-element-button\" style=\"border-radius:10px;\"> zur\u00fcck nach oben<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vor dem H\u00f6ren Wortschatz Learn about common garden herbs and their names in German by doing the following matching activity!
