Description

This unit introduces the German perfect tense with 'sein' for verbs of movement, practising it in contrast to the perfect tense with 'haben' in singular forms. 'Mit' is introduced with modes of transport allowing pupils to practise word order manner before place.

Pupils continue to develop their understanding of the perfect tense in German, as this unit introduces the contrast between verbs using haben and those verbs mostly of movement to a destination which use 'sein' plus past participle. Modes of transport are introduced with the preposition 'mit' (dative). Pupils extend their knowledge of word order with manner before place. Previous knowledge of prepositions is reactivated and practised with 'mit' and 'durch'. The unit context is a traditional German school trip to the popular Black Forest.

  1. Where I went: singular perfect tense 'sein' vs 'haben', 'mit' + dative
  2. Where did you go? How did you travel? Word order, manner before place
  3. The Black Forest: singular perfect tense with 'haben' and 'sein', 'durch'
  4. The Black Forest: prepositions, perfect tense questions

  • Pupils know the German perfect tense of weak and some strong verbs with haben plus past participle.
  • Pupils know most German sound-symbol correspondences, including [ai], and hard and soft [ch].
  • Pupils know the verb 'sein' in the present tense (ich, du, er/sie/es, wir, sie, Sie).
