Lesson outcome

I can use the perfect and present tenses, along with ‘wenn’ and ‘als’, to compare past and present routines and activities.

Show transcript
German [ch] can be soft or hard. The sound [ei] is pronounced like ‘frei’. The suffixes -chen and -lein are added to make diminutive nouns. They often gain an umlaut and are always neuter. 'Wenn' means ‘when’, ‘whenever’ of ‘if’ and is used for repeated actions or conditions in the present or future. 'Als' means ‘when’ to refer to a specific past event or point in time. Both 'als' and 'wenn' trigger word order 3, sending the finite verb to the end of the sentence or clause.
