I can categorise vocabulary to aid mastery, ask and answer questions in three tenses, and take part confidently in a conversation about life online.
Key learning points
- To form a question in the perfect tense, swap the auxiliary verb 'haben' or 'sein' with the subject.
- To form a question in the future tense, swap the part of 'werden' with the subject. The infinitive stays at the end.
- In a conversation, you can usually use the question to start your answer. Change 2nd person language to 1st person.
- A well-developed response has at least three verb clauses.
- Extend your answers by using a different tense, a different subject, or opinions and reasons.
Words to know
- auxiliary verb
- a form of 'haben' or 'sein' used to form the perfect tense, or a form of 'werden' used to form the future tense
- werden
- verb meaning 'to become', used as auxiliary verb to form the future tense
- 2nd person
- language used to refer to ‘you’, singular or plural
Common mistakes
Like in a role-play, I should keep answers short and concise in a conversation.
Conversation answers should be developed and extended with at least three verb clauses.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Brainstorming questions before tackling a conversation on a given theme is a step often missed out by students. If they do this regularly in class, it will also help them to anticipate possible questions in the speaking exam.
