KS3 & KS4 German curriculum

Pupils reactivate a wide range of grammar as they discuss regular routines at school and at home. Present and perfect tense are reactivated in discussing journeys to and from school. Knowledge of prepositions and their da- and wo- compounds is consolidated and extended with additional dual-case prepositions hinter, neben, unter, über, vor and zwischen. In discussing routines after school, pupils learn to use 'nachdem' and 'bevor' with clauses and revise word order to enrich their description and narration. Reflexive verbs are revisited in arranging to meet up with friends.
