Key learning points
- The future tense uses 'werden' in the present tense with a 2nd (infinitive) verb at the end of the sentence.
- The present tense with a time adverbial can be used to express future meaning.
- Time adverbials modify the time frame for a verb, for example 'this week', 'next month'.
- 2-verb structures send the 2nd (infinitive) verb to the end of the sentence in WO1 & 2, and to second-last place in WO3.
- In reading, use title and picture clues, close reading, translation, and comprehension questions to aid understanding.
Keywords
Time adverbials - adverb or short phrase that modifies the time frame of a verb, e.g., 'this weekend', 'next month’
Werden - verb used with a second infinitive to form the future tense
2-verb structure - where the 2nd (infinitive) verb comes at the end of 2-verb sentences
Common misconception
In the future tense and other 2-verb structures, the 2nd (infinitive) verb always comes at the end of the sentence.
The 2nd (infinitive) verb always comes at the end of the sentence in WO1 and 2. In WO3, where the main verb goes to the end of the sentence, the 2nd (infinitive) verb is in 2nd-last place - 'Ich weiß, dass du nächste Woche nach Berlin fahren wirst.'.
