German 2A: General topics for final exam

This exam will cover material from Kapitel 8-11:

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!

4.  Expressing comparisons: the superlative form

5.  Attributive adjectives in the comparative and superlative.

6.  Conjunctions:  subordinating.  Combine two sentences.  Study word order.

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 they 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.  Note the errors that you made there and make mental notes.

9.  Reflexive pronouns

10.  Genitive case

11.  Genitive prepositions

12.  Relative pronouns and clauses.  Review what the pronouns are and how the clauses are formed.

13.  A reading passage with comprehension questions


There will not be a writing passage!
