Key learning points
- When [er] is the stressed syllable, it usually sounds like two short syllables: 'e-uh'.
- When the syllable is unstressed, [-er] sounds like ‘uh’, most often at the end of the word.
- Use a verb with 'gern' to mean 'like'.
- Use a verb with 'lieber' to mean 'prefer'.
- Add –er to turn adverbs into comparatives.
