Review · B2 review

Cumulative review

Everything B2 teaches, shuffled, with the emphasis on reformulation and sources rather than isolated forms.

Not started

The whole level in one place. If a task feels unfamiliar, it is almost always because it combines two lessons rather than because it teaches something new.

Reformulation is the B2 skill. Most of these tasks are one idea in a different shape, not a new idea.

One ideaSix shapes
obligationmuss gelöst werden · ist zu lösen · man muss … lösen
possibilitykann gelöst werden · lässt sich lösen · ist lösbar
a reported claimsagt, es sei … · soll … sein · laut X ist …
a compressed clauseweil … → wegen … · die, die … → die … -ten
register upentscheiden → eine Entscheidung treffen
a judged pasthätte … müssen · wäre besser gewesen

Practising the forms and never choosing between them.Asking each time which shape the context actually wants.

At B2 the grammar is largely known. What is being tested is judgement.
