A party: separable verbs

2 lessons

Threads

  • The present

Description

This unit introduces separable verbs, teaching pupils how to manipulate these in sentences in short form and infinitive, with two verb structures and with 'nicht'. Word order 1 and 3 are revisited with the conjunctions 'denn and 'während'. Pupils learn to distinguish placement and position verbs.

This unit introduces separable verbs in the previously taught present tense in the context of a party. Pupils learn the structure of separable verbs in standard sentences, and as an infinitive in two-verb structures. Previous knowledge of word order in negation is revisited with separable verbs. Cultural context features with the international hot air balloon festival in Switzerland. Pupils also revisit their knowledge of movement vs location by revisiting accusative and dative with the richer vocabulary of high frequency German variations of the verb ' to put'.
