Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can understand and translate texts on past achievements and future goals, applying knowledge of perfect and present tenses, present and imperfect modals, and word order.

Show transcript
Frequent reading aloud and transcription can aid fluency in both speaking and comprehension. When discussing past goals, use the perfect for most verbs, but the imperfect for modals. For future goals, the present tense can be used to express future intentions, with a future time phrase. The word 'als' can mean 'when' in the past tense, 'as a' (role), or 'than' in comparisons. Translation into and from German requires attention to vocabulary, tenses, word order, accuracy, and careful checking.
