Lesson outcome

I understand how to form the future tense using 'werden', and I can use context to decipher words that have more than one meaning.

Show transcript
Regular practice of sound-symbol correspondences helps to improve fluency. Some German words have multiple meanings. Context helps you work out which meaning is intended. The present tense of 'werden' with an infinitive at sentence end forms the future, meaning ‘will do’ or ‘going to do’. 'Werden' is irregular. The 'ich' form of 'werden' is 'werde', 'du' form 'wirst', 'sie, er, es' form 'wird'. The German 'will' comes from 'wollen' and means 'want'. Do not confuse this with the future tense.
