Key learning points
- To refer back to something inanimate already mentioned, add da- or dar- to the beginning of a preposition.
- As a da-compound, 'damit' means 'with it/them'; as a word order 3 conjunction, 'damit' means 'so that'.
- In reading, use title and picture clues, close reading, translation and comprehension questions to aid understanding.
Keywords
Da-, dar- - prefix added to prepositions to replace an inanimate noun, creating a da-compound
Conjunction - word that connects ideas between clauses in a sentence
Damit - a conjunction which sends the verb to the end (word order 3 (WO3) ) meaning 'so that' and da-compound meaning 'with it/them'
Common misconception
'Damit' always means 'with it' or 'with them'.
'Damit' has a double identity! It can be used as a conjunction meaning 'so that' as well as a da-compound meaning 'with it' or 'with them'.
