Description

This unit provides pupils with the knowledge to form the German perfect tense with ‘haben’ and past participles for weak and some strong verbs. Pupils learn how to form questions in the perfect tense and two options for translating the German perfect tense into English.

This unit introduces the German perfect tense of weak verbs with 'haben'. Pupils already know the present tense of 'haben', weak and some strong verbs in singular and 1st and 3rd person plural forms. Pupils apply their new and existing knowledge to use weak and some strong past participles in the perfect tense with 'haben', in the context of a German holiday resort, 'der Bodensee' (Lake Constance). During the unit, pupils draw on previous knowledge of word order, sequencers and question forms to ask questions and produce extended sequences to describe past and present holidays.
