Faahfaahinta casharka

Natiijada casharka

I can recognise correspondences between German and English nouns and can use a range of familiar vocabulary with the past tense, to understand Germany's past and discuss my childhood.

Muuji qoraalka
German nouns ending '-heit' often correspond to English nouns ending '-ity', '-ness', e.g., 'die Sicherheit' (security). After WW2, Germany was split into West and East Germany. Life was very different in each country. Use the perfect tense and shorter imperfect tense forms 'war', 'waren', 'es gab', 'hatte' to narrate past events. The conjunctions 'als' or 'bevor' trigger word order three and can be used at the start of a sentence. If 'als' or 'bevor' begin a clause, the following clause uses word order two, creating a verb-comma-verb pattern.
