Lesson 1-The break down • Prepositions link nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words. • Example: My wife is in the kitchen making a sandwich. • “in” is the preposition connecting his wife to the kitchen. • In German it’s the exact same. Try not to over work yourself. • Beispiel: Meine Frau istinderKüche und machtmireinButterbrot.
Time expressions • This is to refresh your memory: • Sonntag is Sunday • Montag is Monday • Sonntagmorgen is Sunday morning • Montagnachmittag is Monday afternoon.
Dative • Dative in German is for indirect objects. • Here is a table showing you article changes: Before / After • Masculine der / dem • Feminine die / der • Neuter das / dem • Plural die /den
introduction • You can create time expressions that answer the question wann(when) with the prepositions an (on), in (in), and vor(ago). • These time expressions require the dative case.
Days of the week with dative • Use an in combination with days of the week and times of the day. • AmSonntag (on Sunday) • AmMontag (on Monday) • You can also combine day and time of day: • AmSonntagmorgen (on Sunday morning) • AmMontagnachmittag (on Monday afternoon) • Note: There is no Morgenmorgen instead you would say Morgenfrüh.
Days of the week with dative • In addition, you can indicate dates: • Example #1: am 14. April • (on the fourteenth of April) • Example #2: am 31. Dezember • (on the thirty-first of December).
