Question 52

SAYING THAT YOU LIKE TO DO SOMETHING/NOT DO SOMETHING

Answer 52

To say that you like to do something, you add the adverb "gern" to the verb: Ich lerne gern Deutsch. To say that you do not like to do something, you can use "nicht gern". Ich arbeite nicht gern ACHTUNG! The adverb “gern” is not a verb (i.e. you cannot say “Ich gern Deutsch”). It always needs to be added to a verb to express that you “like to do” that activity.

The verb lernen is used to refer to learning specific material (e.g. for a test). It is also used to say that you are learning a language. Ich lerne Deutsch. I am learning German

Question 57

PERSONAL PRONOUNS Personal pronouns can replace persons or things.

Answer 57

ich = I du = you (informal singular) er = he, it sie = she, it es = it wir = we ihr = you (informal plural) sie = they Sie = you (formal sing./pl.)

Question 58

VERB CONJUGATION – THE PRESENT TENSE Verbs are conjugated by adding personal endings to the stem of the infinitive. The stem of the infinitive is obtained by removing the “en” or “n” from the infinitive. spielen ... spiel

Answer 58

1. ich = -e 2. du = -st 3. er/sie/es = -t 4. wir = -en 5. ihr = -t 6. Sie/sie = -en - Infinitives that end in -n, only add -n in the “wir” and “Sie/sie” forms. Verbs with a stem ending in an “s” sound (s, ß, z) only add -t (instead of – st) in the second person singular (du). Stems ending in -d or -t add a linking -e- in the second person (du and ihr) and the third person singular (er, sie, es)
