Word Order in German

Complete the OneNote notes:

If you have a long sentence with lots of information in it, you need to write it in the order.... ____________, _________________, ________________.

For example:  If you want to say: "Yesterday I went with my brother to the cinema in the car" you would need to say _______________________________________________if you were saying/writing it in German.

Time = when   /   Manner = how or with who   /  Place = where

OneNote Task 2

For each sentence think of the TIME-MANNER-PLACE rule

Highlight the time in GREEN

Highlight the manner in YELLOW

Highlight the PLACE in blue

OneNote Task 3

Listen carefully to the people talking about celebrations they have had.  Pick out the information and complete the table in your OneNote.

Note:  I have added an 'Extras' column in case you hear anything that doesn't fit into the categories

Using the sentences we have practised, adapt them to make your own long sentence
