Review · B2 Phase 1 review

Mixed review

Everything from the first six B2 lessons, shuffled — plus reading and argument questions that need more than one of them.

Not started

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 writingKonjunktiv I: sei, habe, komme
making a clause shorter and more formalnominal style: wegen, nach + Nomen
saying under what circumstancesfalls, sofern, vorausgesetzt, dass
naming the one exceptiones sei denn
saying something can be donelässt sich, -bar, man
shortening a relative clausea participial phrase
conceding before you disagreezwar … 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.
