THE GRAMMAR

Page 5: 6th Year German Higher Level Julie Cullen · German Higher Level Julie Cullen Grammar No part of this publication may be copied, reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means,

It is important that you understand what these words mean in both English and German. The

language that you speak everyday has come naturally to you. Although a parent may correct

your grammar “I have done, NOT I done!”, they don’t usually shout “That’s not the correct past

participle! You used your modal verb incorrectly!” In German, we’re expected to know what all

of this means when we’re not even sure of it in English. Let’s fix that.

Section 1 - Grammatical terms

English German Meaning & example

nouns Substantive Person, place or a thing // der Mann

definite article bestimmte Artikel The // der/die/das

indefinite article unbestimmte Artikel A // ein/eine

cases Fälle Nominativ // Accusativ // Dativ // Genitive

gender Geschlect Masculin // Feminin // Neuter

adjectives Adjektive Describes a noun // die blaue Bluse

prepositions Präpositionen Informs about time & place // in die Schule

pronouns Pronomen Replaces a noun // er/sie/es

verbs Verben Action word // ich gehe

interrogative Fragewörter Wer? Wem? Wo? Wann? Warum? Was?

word order Wortfolge word to end of sentence, verb inverts etc.

Section 2 - Nouns What is a noun? A noun is a person, a place or a thing. It is anything you can put the word ‘the’ in front of and it still makes sense.

In German, a noun is one of three genders:

Masculine - der Vater

Feminine - die Mutter

Neuter - das Kind

All nouns in German get a capital letter.

What is a compound noun? A compound noun is a noun made up of two or more nouns. It always takes the gender of the last noun. eg. der Milchmann

Rules for Gender

How do you know if a noun is masculine, feminine or neuter? With each new noun you learn, you should learn the gender too. However, there are some tricks:

Masculine 1. Male persons and animals2. Names of seasons, months and days3. Nouns ending in -ig and -ling4. Nouns ending in -er that refer to a person5. Most nouns ending in -en (except verbs used as nouns)

©The Dublin School of Grinds � Ms Julie Cullen58

Page 8: 6th Year German Higher Level Julie Cullen · German Higher Level Julie Cullen Grammar No part of this publication may be copied, reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means,

Feminine 1. Female persons and animals2. Nouns ending in - e

- ei- ik- in- ion- heit- keit- schaft- tät- ung

Neuter 1. Infinitives used as nouns2. Nouns ending in - ment

- tum3. Diminutives (making a word smaller)

- lein- chen

very long list but you don’t need to know every single one.

* Familiarise yourself with the verbs that appear time and again.

* The majority of verbs in the perfect tense take ‘haben’ but you must familiarise yourself with

the verbs that take ‘sein’.

Section 12 - Direct and indirect speech

What is direct speech?

Direct speech is dialogue. It can be identified by „quotation marks‟.

Example: ,,Sarah ist krank‟. (“Sarah is sick”)

* Konjunctiv I is used to form indirect speech.* Apart from ‘sein’ and six modal verbs, it is restricted to third person.* All verbs have -e added to the stem of infinitive.* Students have never been asked to form the Konjunktiv I. You should be able to recognise it

though.* You only have to be able to recognise the third person. It is easier than you think!

haben = er habe werden = er werde machen = er mache fahren = er fahre gehen = er gehe arbeiten = er arbeite können = er könne

sein ich sei du seist er sei wir seien ihr seiet sie seien Sie seien

* Direct speech (direkte Rede) came up in 2012:
