German 2A/10C: Assignment for 3/9/15: Kapitel 9: In der Stadt

Continue to work on the workbook/lab manual for Kapitel 9.  

Thema 2: Im Hotel, p. 265

Listen to dialog, study Neue Wörter, p. 265 and write a short summary (4-5) sentences based on the dialog "Im Hotel" in which you give information about the wer, was, wie, warum, etc.   Z.B: Herr Thompson kommt im hotel an.  Er meldet sich an ... u.s.w. 


and then complete "Bilden Sie Sätze".


Akt. 3, p. 266: complete sentences


Akt. 4, p. 266: study pictures and write a sentence for each one.  Then, rewrite the story using the present perfect tense. (present perfect tense was covered in Kapitel 7)

Go to this website:  http://www.aohostels.com/en/berlin/ Click on the German flag in the upper right hand corner to read the site "auf deutsch."  Choose a hostel or a hotel and write 6-7 sentences (in German) describing the hotel, using the vocabulary from Kap. 9.  Include the price of a room, what kind of services are available, location, etc.  Click on "Freizeitzangebote" and include a few places you'd like to visit in your report. Try to include a couple of uses of the genitive case, for good measure.   And, be sure to watch the short video included for the hostels to get a sense of what it looks like!  Have some fun with this! 


Grammatik im Kontext: 

Attributive Adjectives, p. 275, "Adjectives after a Definite Article".   Read carefully and study the chart for "adjectives after a definite article."  Note: it is important to know the genders of the nouns that are being modified and to recognize which case (i.e., nominative, accusative, dative or genitive) the noun is in!  This is where it all comes together!   

Note: it's not as complicated as it might seem.  There are only two adjective endings used with frequency: -e and -en.  And -e is only used in five places (see chart), all the rest are -en.  

Write answers to Übung 7.


Read Sprach-Info, bottom of p. 275

Write sentences for Übung 8.  Do not use "haben mir gefallen" for each one!  Try using some other vocabulary to vary your answers.  For example: for No. 2, you could say how much the small and comfortable hotel cost per night.
