Lesson outcome

I can use the 12-hour clock and word order 2 to say what hour I did different activities, and use present and past (perfect) tenses to translate a message into German.

Show transcript
Revisiting individual word meanings in listening, reading and speaking practice activities strengthens memory. Contrasting the present and perfect tense in practice tasks deepens the knowledge of both structures. ‘Uhr’ means 'o’clock'. ‘Um’ means ‘at’ with time, e.g., 'um drei Uhr' ('at three o’ clock'). ‘Die Stunde’ means ‘hour’. Starting with time triggers word order 2 so the verb stays in 2nd place, e.g., 'um zwei Uhr habe ich Karten gespielt'.
