4 lessons

Threads

  • The present
  • Word order

Description

This unit introduces verbs with indirect objects in familiar contexts involving family and friends. Pupils apply this in terms of exchanging gifts, and giving a range of opinions using verbs such as 'gefallen'. Word order 2 and 3 are revisited as pupils give opinions with or without 'dass'.

Developing the thread of giving opinions, pupils learn the concept of verbs with indirect objects within the context of exchanging gifts. Accusative and dative are revisited with the prepositions 'für' and 'von'. Pupils build knowledge and confidence in giving opinions and reasons with a broader range of opinion verbs, and revisiting word order 3 with verbs with 'weil' and 'dass'. Pupils apply this knowledge in a range of familiar contexts.
