Word Order

Description

An animated clip in which a grumpy director helps an actor with her delivery as she tries to understand more about German word order. He explains how time phrases, certain conjunctions and the use of auxiliary verbs with past participles have an effect on the word order of German sentences.

Classroom Ideas

Provide pupils with some incorrect sentences that they have to rewrite using the correct word order. Give them a series of conjunctions and ask them to generate their own sentences on a particular subject, remembering to use the correct word order each time.
