Tasks for class 1C

Dear 1C,

we don’t start a new grammar topic, but we repeat (wiederholen) what we have learned so far.

Wenn wir wieder in der Schule sind möchte ich nämlich die nächste Schularbeit machen und zwar

voraussichtlich am Freitag, 20.März oder Mittwoch, 25. März. Dann können wir nämlich noch etwas

wiederholen und offene Fragen klären. Keine Sorge! Den genauen Termin für die Schularbeit machen

wir am Mittwoch gemeinsam aus! Inhalte der Schularbeit wären:

telling the time

verb to be (positive Sätze, Verneinung, Fragen und Kurzantworten)

prepositions of place (in, on, under, next to …)

Wochentage, Monate und Jahreszeiten

Wichtig: Daniel und Magdalena holen den Vokabeltest zur unit 5 bitte sobald wir wieder in der

Schule sind nach! Das wird voraussichtlich der 18. März (Mittwoch) sein.

Auf den folgenden Seiten findet ihr Übungen zur Wiederholung von den prepositions of place und

dem verb to be. Erledigt diese bitte zuverlässig und kontrolliert eure Antworten mit den Lösungen,

die ich am Ende dieses Dokuments bereitgestellt habe.

Bei Fragen könnt ihr mir gerne ein Mail an die folgende Adresse schicken:
