German 1B/10C: Assignment for 4/28/15: Kapitel 7: Freizeit und Sport

Begin Kapitel 7.   After working through the Grammatik, begin workbook and lab manual for Kapitel 7. 

Announcements (please read):  The last office hour will be held on 5/19, the evening of the final. 

For 4/28: 

Read “Kostbare Zeit”, p. 207, Answer A, listen to B and answer questions.

A, p. 208: Be prepared to answer questions for A, based on San Franciscio or Bay Area locations.  Z.B: Wo kann man in SF Rad fahren?  Wo kann man Tennis spielen? 


Thema 1, p. 208, read and study, prepare answers to B.


Study, repeat, learn: Wortschatz, pp. 232-233 


Write Akt. 1. 


Read Sprach-Info, p. 210


Akt. 2 will be done in class, prepare to say which sports you enjoy, how often (see Sprach-Info, assigned above), where.  

Read Landeskunde-Info, p. 223 and prepare answers to the questions. 



Grammatik im Kontext: 

Read: Connecting Ideas: Coordinating conjunctions, p. 216.  These 5 conjunctions function similarly to English.  


Read: Expressing a contrast: aber vs. sondern, p. 216.  This is a little trickier.  Write the correct answers to Übung 1, p. 217.  Read the sentences carefully.  Ask yourself, is there a negative in the first contrasted element and are there two mutually exclusive ideas juxtaposed?  If so, then you must use sondern! 


Read and study:  The Present Perfect Tense, p. 217-218 + Analyse

Read "The Use of haben or sein as auxiliary", pp. 221-222.  Note, especially, that the majority of verbs will use "haben" + past participle in the present perfect tense.  Note that "sein" is used with verbs that indicate movement from one place to another: gehen and fahren, for example.   Another category of verbs that take "sein" are those that show a change in condition by showing a transition from one state of being to another or if they indicate a process.  Got that?  Here's an example: 


First state of being             Transition                New state of being

ich bin wach (awake)         ich schlafe ein         ich schlafe 

Thus, "einschlafen" requires "sein" in the present perfect, as it indicates a change in condition:  Ich bin eingeschlafen.  We will discuss this very engaging concept further in class. 

Listen to Übung 3, p. 219 and check boxes. 


Write answers to Übung 4, p. 219

THEN, write 4-5 sentences in the present perfect tense telling about a visit you made to a restaurant.  


Übung 5, p. 220: check the boxes, as appropriate and be prepared to complete in class with a neighbor.
