Family 3 is the thirtieth skill in the language tree for German. It has five lessons and teaches a variety of vocabulary relating to family members, travel and free time.
Grammar Notes[]
Time and space? No, time then place![]
In English, we often put the place where something happens before the time when it happens. In German you say it the other way around:
- Ich gehe im Januar nach Berlin. = I am going to Berlin in January.
- Mein Großvater reist morgen nach Japan. = My grandfather is travelling to Japan tomorrow.
Sein und ihr[]
These words mean his/its and her respectively. They work just like ein, dein, mein and kein!
- Sein Auge ist schwarz. = His eye is black.
- Sie hat ihr Brötchen. = She has her (bread) roll.
Hast du jetzt Zeit?[]
Since we're asking people whether or not they have time or free time a lot in this skill, it's a great time to review the German verb haben, to have!
