  • The present

Description

This unit revisits adverbs, such as 'gut' 'schnell' and 'gern', and introduces the adverb 'lieber'. It extends knowledge of separable verbs for the plural forms 'wir' and 'sie'.

Building on and extending pupils' knowledge of comparatives and their ability to express opinions using 'gern', this unit introduces 'lieber' so that pupils can ask and answer questions on likes and preferences. Pupils practise this receptively and in role plays and also revisit and extend their knowledge of separable verbs. Later in the unit, they revisit infinitive clauses with 'statt...zu' as well as word order 1 and 3 with 'denn' and 'weil'.

  1. Everyday experiences: present tense separable verbs in present tense, 'gern'
