23. German: Verb + preposition + clause; questions words - worauf, woran etc.

This is a Powerpoint presentation of 9 slides and is no.23 in a series of 60-minute lessons used by me to tutor a GCSE student via Zoom. The focus of each lesson is grammatical, rather than topic specific, and as such they can be slotted into topic work as required. In addition, each lesson attempts to extend the use of German to match the requirements of GCSE Higher Tier.

This presentation explains how to use da-compounds to add a clause after verbs with associated prepositions e.g. ich freue mich darauf, nach Deutschland zu fahren. It also explains how to form the question word ‘what?’ with such verbs i.e. Worauf freust du dich? etc. Along with grammatical explanations, there is a list of some important such verbs, translation sentences, oral practice with Tic Tac Toe and a guided paragraph translation.
