Why this why now
This unit revisits the past tenses, perfect and imperfect, as pupils practise their knowledge of weak, strong, modal and reflexive verbs in extended reading, writing and spoken production, and in asking and answering questions in the past tense. Word order is revisited, as well as negation using 'nicht' and 'sondern'. Known vocabulary is revisited with new vocabulary in a range of contexts. These include articles on unusual jobs, a career as an engineer, an Erasmus year, and holiday and family experiences.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils know the simple past of haben, sein and 'es gab' and the meaning of 'früher' (used to).
- Pupils can use 'gern' and 'lieber' with verbs in the present, perfecct and simple past (imperfect).
- Pupils know and can ask questions in the perfect tense of weak and strong verbs with 'haben' and 'sein'.
- Pupils know with increasing confidence the past participles of strong verbs with and without stem changes.
- Pupils know and can use the determiners 'jed-', nächst-' and letzt-'
