WRITING
All nouns have CAPITAL letters
Practise writing down what you have

Write short paragraphs on each of the
topics
Always cover the 3 time frames and give
opinions
11
OPINIONS
Start with simple sentences and build up to
more complex ones:
eg
Das ist gut.
Das finde ich gut.
Ich denke, das ist gut.
Meiner Meinung nach ist das gut.
Avoid repetition – use a variety of
adjectives
Learn a few which can be used in lots of
topics
10
WORD ORDER
The verb is always second in the sentence
eg
but
Ich spiele Fussball.
Freitags spiele ich Fussball.
This is because you have put another
word/phrase in front of the verb
Connectives like weil send the verb to the
end of the sentence. Do not forget the
COMMA (weil means because and allows
you to express opinions/reasons)

LIKES AND DISLIKES
Ich mag + noun
Ich mag Fussball.
Ich + verb + gern
Ich spiele gern Fussball.
Remember: the word gern must come
after the verb.
Also, add nicht to make it negative.
