Here are the general topics for the final exam for 2A students:
This exam will cover material from Kapitel 8-10:
For general review on some of the topics (simple past, adjective endings, genitive, reflexive pronouns and verbs, subordinating conjunctions) see this site. Some of them have a "Lösungsblatt", but others do not. Feel free to email me with a file of your completed exercise and I will look them over.
1. Listening section on the topic of Freizeit
2. Vocabulary identification
3. Giving Directions (3 out of 4 options) Review especially the vocabulary and phrases on pp. 268 and 269. Don't try to be creative with this section, stay within the lines! Otherwise, you could get into trouble crossing the street!
4. Expressing comparisons: the superlative form
5. Attributive adjectives in the comparative and superlative.
6. Conjunctions: subordinating. Combine two sentences. Study word order. See pp. 244-246 for review and exercises to practice.
7. Simple past (imperfect)
The strong verbs that you will need to memorize the simple past tense forms are:
a. kommen
b. essen
c. fahren
d. gehen
e. schreiben
f. schlafen
g. bleiben
h. trinken
i. laufen
j. nehmen
k. sehen
also know the simple past of: haben, sein, and the modals. To review simple past of modals, see the chart on page 196, Kapitel 6. They are formed similarly to weak verbs, but lose the umlauts, where these have occurred in the present tense. The "ich" and the "er, sie, es" form are identical.
8. Attributive adjective endings !! Review a similar section on the Kapitel 9 test. Also, I will post the answers to the handout I gave the class on 5/9 in a follow up post. (if you have misplaced it, you can find it here. ) Here is what I noticed tripped some people up on the Kapitel 9 test:
a. Not noticing that a prepositional phrase or verb required dative adjective endings.
b. Not recognizing which case a given two-way preposition required. You can review two-way prepositions on p. 186.
c. Not recognizing a subject vs. a direct object (important really only for masculine nouns).
9. Reflexive pronouns. See pp. 248-249 for review.
10. Genitive case
11. Genitive prepositions
13. A reading passage with comprehension questions
There will not be a writing passage!
10C presentation:
Choice of a topic covered in Kapitel 8-10. Please include at least two examples of a noun modified with an adjective and the correct adjective ending, and one sentence with "weil" or other subordinating conjunction.
