Description

This unit revisits and extends knowledge of adjective endings with definite and indefinite articles. As pupils describe their new house and neighbours, they revisit word order, manipulating sentence starts with time, manner or place in order to emphasise ideas.

A core thread of asking and answering questions with greater detail is explored here as pupils extend their knowledge of adjective endings with definite and indefinite articles in the nominative and accusative, and the dative with 'aus' and 'mit'. Word order knowledge is deepened as pupils learn how to vary the word order for emphasis. Pupils apply their knowledge in describing attributes in more detail, as they describe a new house and new neighbours. Cultural detail is provided through the common feature of multi-generation houses in Germany.
