German 2A: Assignment for 12/8/14: Kapitel 10

German 2A will meet at 7:35.


Continue working on workbook and lab manual for Kapitel 10.  Completed work will be collected on the evening of the final, 12/15/14.  No late workbooks will be accepted!  

Due to time constraints, we will skip Thema 2 in favor of Thema 3, as you are more likely to use the information in that Thema than the information in Thema 2.  

Thema 3: Eine Fahrkarte, bitte! (p. 298). 

Answer questions to: "Wo ist das", p. 298, study Neue Wörter


Listen to Am Fahrkartenschalter am Bahnhof, 


Write answers to Akt. 8, p. 299.  

Listen to Akt. 9, p. 299 and fill in the chart. 

_____________________

Grammatik im Kontext:

Read "Analyse", p. 309 and identify all the verbs in the simple past.  Write them down in three columns: strong, weak and modal verbs.  Write the infinitives for all verbs.  Don't be concerned with the new past participles you might encounter.  


Read and study "Strong Verbs", p. 308.  Note that verbs that are strong in English (i.e. don't form the past tense with "ed") also tend to be strong in German.  However, these are ones that have to be memorized.   

Read "mixed verbs" and "Sprach-Info" (p. 309)

Fill in the blanks for Übung 12, p. 310 (this is based on the Analyse, p. 309) 

Write sentences for Übung 14.  Be sure to read Sprach-Info (p. 309) before doing this one. 

Read and study, "The Past Perfect Tense", p. 311 and write answers to 
Übung 15.  
It is simply using the past tense of "haben" or "sein" and the past participle, which you already are familiar with.  Note: this will not be included on the final, but it is a useful concept to review.  

Pay special attention to the note about "bevor" and "nachdem" and how they are used to connect sentences. 

Note: much of this is based on concepts you already know, i.e. you already know the present perfect tense, the past tense of "haben" and "sein", and that's it, folks!    

Note: there will be a section on the final covering the "simple past tense".  However, I will give you a list of 10 verbs (strong) that you should be familiar with in terms of the SPT.  The modal forms must be memorized, as well as how to form the SPT with weak verbs (easy!).  

We will review the practice test, sections: II, A, B, III, A, B, and VI.  Please complete these as homework and use them also with an eye toward the final.
