Unit 07 · Work & school
Write a short enquiry about a job. Mention your experience and ask about working hours.
This is the grammatical heart of the course: the Nebensatz. Once weil, dass and ob send the verb to the end, you can give reasons, state opinions and ask politely — in messages and in conversation.
- Subordinate clauses with weil, dass, ob; deshalb and trotzdem
- Work and school: der Kollege, die Besprechung, die Bewerbung, the interview, the classroom
- Semi-formal messages: excusing yourself, asking for something, giving a reason
Checkpoint: the semi-formal e-mail of Goethe Schreiben Teil 2 in the writing simulator.
