Lesson outcome

I can talk and write about my travels using past and present modal verbs and correct time-manner-place word order.

Show transcript
Use imperfect modal verbs in speech and writing to say what you and others wanted, were able or had to do. Use present modal modal verbs to communicate present/future actions, e.g., Ich will in der Zukunft nach Rügen fahren.'. Adverbs in a sentence follow the order time, manner, place (TMP); this word order applies in all tenses. Details of time, manner and place often co-occur in travel sentences – word order must follow TMP in main clauses.
