Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. [b] is pronounced like English 'p' when it's the final letter in a word, or followed by a consonant, e.g., 'der Korb'.
  2. [b] sounds like English b when it's followed by a vowel, e.g., 'die Körbe'.
  3. 'Alle' is a pronoun meaning 'everyone' or 'everybody' and is followed by a plural verb ending -en.
  4. 'Jeder' is a pronoun meaning 'everyone' or 'everybody' and is followed by a singular verb ending -t.
  5. 'Jed-' is the determiner ‘every’ and its endings match the gender and case of the noun that follows, e.g., 'jedes Kind'.

Keywords

  • [b] - as pronounced in 'Korb' and 'Körbe'

  • Alle - pronoun meaning 'everyone' or 'everybody', used with a plural verb

  • Jeder - pronoun meaning 'everyone' or 'everybody', used with a singular verb

  • Jed- - determiner meaning ‘every’; its endings match the gender and case of the noun that follows, e.g., 'jedes Kind'

Common misconception

As in English, there is only one word for 'every'.

In German, 'jed-' changes its spelling in the same way as 'der', 'die' and 'das', to match the gender and case of the noun that follows.
