GERMAN PLUPERFECT TENSE WITH SEIN

GERMAN CONJUGATION TAKING THE AUXILIARY SEIN IN THE PLUPERFECT TENSE conjugation drills focusing on regular and irregular German verbs taking sein in the pluperfect tense - 3 differentiated conjugation challenges, 150 quick conjugations and complete answer key. The workbook focuses on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, and I’ve found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their German conjugation skills are developing well.

I find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example with the pluperfect tense, students need to have a good grasp of the relevant auxiliary in the imperfect tense - there are verbs that require either haben or sein, so the focus on the auxiliary sein with this workbook helps to embed this concept, and to get used to ensuring that the past participle is situated at the end of the clause or sentence.

The structure is as follows:

Two alphabetical verb reference lists: German-English and English-German.

Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations:

Quick Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in German across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation.

Quick Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in German, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in German.

Quick Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding German verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt.

Notes and Next Steps sheet, which encourages students to think about how their understanding of German conjugation works, what progress they have made, what their targets for improvement might realistically be, and what they might reasonably do in order to meet those targets. Students also note down any new verbs they discover, which enables them to build up a really sound verb vocabulary bank.
