Description

This unit consolidates knowledge of the future tense, two-verb structures, and the use of zu infinitive. It introduces word order 3 with two-verb structures as pupils learn to give reasons for New Year's resolutions.

Pupils already know the future tense with werden and the alternative ways of expressing intentions with for example 'planen', 'vorhaben' with zu + infinitive, including separable and reflexive verbs in the infinitive. In this unit, pupils expand this knowledge as they learn to give reasons using 2-verb structures. Word order 3 is practised with the future tense and with modal verbs. Cultural context is provided in extended listening and reading articles on Chinese New Year celebrations in Germany.
