Show transcript
Care is needed with [zw] and [schw] when listening and speaking. Reading longer texts can be a useful way to reinforce vocabulary recognition and understanding. ‘Früher’ can be used with the perfect tense to say what used to happen, e.g., 'ich habe früher Bücher gelesen'. ‘Noch nicht’ can be used with the perfect tense to say what hasn’t yet happened, e.g., 'ich habe noch nicht gegessen'. Identifying verb tenses and other important grammar points is a good strategy when translating into German.
