Next: Konjunktiv I in reported speech
Final B1 review
Longer tasks that need several structures at once, in the shapes the exam uses.
Last stop before the exam. Nothing new — but the tasks here are longer, and most of them need two or three structures in the same answer.
If you can do four things, you can do B1: tell what happened, say what you think and why, ask for something politely, and pass on what someone else said.
| Task | What it needs |
|---|---|
| tell what happened | Perfekt + war/hatte + zuerst/dann + nachdem |
| argue a point | Meinung + Vorteil/Nachteil + obwohl/trotzdem + je…desto |
| ask politely | Konjunktiv II + indirect question + ob |
| pass it on | dass / ob / bitten … zu |
| describe a process | wird/wurde/muss … werden |
| describe a thing | relative clause + participle adjective |
Practising the structures one at a time right up to the exam.Writing three connected sentences that use three different ones.
The exam asks for combinations, because that is what using a language is.
