  • Word order

Description

This unit introduces the concept of adverbs of time before place in German word order. Pupils apply this knowledge in both question and answer form. They extend their range of questions with 'Wie viel' and 'Wie viele' and practise the sound-symbol correspondence [ig] (final).

Developing the thread of asking and answering questions, and building on previous learning of 'es gibt', this unit introduces pupils to the concept of countable and uncountable nouns and the question structures 'wie viel' and 'wie viele'. During the unit, pupils consolidate their understanding of word order with time and place adverbs, and explore how to extend and develop their sentences with word order variations. They learn the key differences in adverb placement between German and English. Berlin gives an authentic cultural link with an introduction to the German capital.
