Das Datum
1.1
To ask for and give the date, you first need to know the months and the
ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc), so study the following points carefully
and note them in your Notebook:
Die Monate
The names of the months in German are very similar to the months in English:
Januar
Februar
März
April
Mai
Juni
Juli
August
September
Ordinal numbers
These are numbers like ‘first, second, third, etc’.
The normal way to make a number ordinal is:
for 1 – 19, add –te or –ten
for 20 – 31, add –ste or –sten.

8 = acht
but
but
but
but
first = erste
third = dritte
seventh = siebte

There are a few points to note here:

Audio CD 2 track 45
Listen to your audio track while you read the invitations on p76.
Can you work out what these words mean?
Einladung
an
am
um
wo
von
If you said ‘invitation’, ‘to’ (person), ‘on the’ (date), ‘at’ (time), ‘where’
(venue) and ‘from’(person), then you have understood the invitation!

Now go to your workbook, Ab p95, Ex 15, Kommst du zur Party? and see if
you can match these responses with the correct invitation in your course
book (as in 3.1).
Check your Solutions.

From the responses in Ab (Ex 15), find the phrases which mean:
Thank you for the invitation
I’d love to come
Unfortunately I can’t come

Write them in your Notebook, with their meanings.

Die Jahreszeiten: Frühling, Sommer, Herbst, Winter

Because the German-speaking countries are in the Northern Hemisphere,
their seasons occur at different times of the year from those in Australia,
which is in the Southern Hemisphere.

der Schweiz.
4.2
In your Notebook, list the seasons in German and English, then write
beside them (in German) the months which correspond with that season,
eg. Spring
Summer

der Frühling

Im September, Oktober und November ist es …
Im Dezember, Januar und Februar ist es …
Ostern ist im …
Weihnachten ist im …
Die langen Ferien sind im …
