REVIEW CHAPTER 5 You can read, write and translate short paragraphs about the Christmas topic. You know how to conjugate weak and strong verbs and you know how to conjugate irregular verbs like sein, haben, möchten. You know that “möchten” is a modal verb1 and means would like to. It is often accompanied by another verb, a so-called infinitive completion, which is placed at the end of the sentence. You know the gender of the nouns from your vocabulary lists Kapitel 1–5 and every singular and plural form of the nouns. You know KEIN- and DER-word endings regarding the gender, number and case of the noun they are preceding. You know adjective endings regarding to the gender, number and case of the noun they are preceding and in regard to the KEIN- or DER word they are preceded by. You know the personal pronouns for nominative and accusative case. You know the difference between the negations kein and nicht and you do know where to put them in a sentence. The nominative case (Nominativ) is used for the subject of a sentence: who or what is doing this? and for predicate nouns2: when the main verb is sein or to be called. Use the nominative for both, subject and predicate nouns. Der Student lernt Deutsch. Das ist ein Tisch. / Ich heiße Hugo. The meaning of modal verbs tells us about the speaker’s attitude or feelings regarding the action of the verb: Do you want to read a book? Should you read the book? Would you like to read a book? 2 A predicate noun is a noun in a sentence that refers to the same thing as the subject of the sentence. 1 Page 1 REVIEW CHAPTER 5 The accusative case (der Akkusativ) is used to indicate the direct object of a sentence. The direct object is the immediate recipient of an action or event: who or what is being <verbed>? Ich trinke einen Kaffe. What is being drunk? A coffee. Useful knowledge about the acusative: a) Note that the very common expression "es gibt" (there is/are) requires that the noun has to be in the accusative case because it is grammatically a direct object. Es gibt einen großen Wolf in Wolfville. There is a big wolf in Wolfville. b) after the accusative prepositions: bis, durch, für, gegen, ohne, um. If a noun follows these prepositions, it will ALWAYS be in the accusative! Er ist gegen die Musik. Against what? The music. Ist das Geschenk für mich? For whom? For me. c) time expressions in a sentence are usually in accusative: jeden Tag, letzten Sommer, den ganzen Tag, diesen Abend, etc. Jeden Morgen trinke ich einen Kaffee. Every morning. Page 2
