Lesson details
Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- Some verbs are followed by prepositions and the accusative case, and some are followed by prepositions and the dative.
- We use different prepositions after verbs in English and German, so verb and preposition combinations must be learnt.
- The prefix 'da(r)-' can be added to prepositions to refer to something already mentioned. This is called a da-compound.
- Some da-compounds have different meanings in common usage as adverbs. Some idiomatic phrases include a da-compound.
- A developed response to a question has at least 3 clauses. Include a different tense, subject, or opinion and reason.
Keywords
Preposition - a word that is used before a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun, connecting it to another word
Da-, dar- - prefix added to prepositions to avoid repetition of the noun
Common misconception
Da-compounds can always be translated literally, with the preposition retaining its usual meaning.
German verb and preposition combinations need to be learnt. We often use different prepositions after verbs in English and in German. Some da-compounds have also taken on slightly different meanings when used as adverbs or in idiomatic phrases.
