Mixed review
Everything from the first six B2 lessons, shuffled — plus reading and argument questions that need more than one of them.
Nothing new here. The only difference from the lessons is that nothing tells you which structure a question wants — which is the point.
If you are stuck, name what the sentence is doing before you translate a word of it.
| If the task is … | reach for |
|---|---|
| passing on what someone said, in writing | Konjunktiv I: sei, habe, komme |
| making a clause shorter and more formal | nominal style: wegen, nach + Nomen |
| saying under what circumstances | falls, sofern, vorausgesetzt, dass |
| naming the one exception | es sei denn |
| saying something can be done | lässt sich, -bar, man |
| shortening a relative clause | a participial phrase |
| conceding before you disagree | zwar … aber |
Reaching for the structure you practised most recently.Reading what the task actually asks for.
Mixed review exists precisely to break that habit, which is why it feels harder than the lessons did.
