Lesson 5: Telling the Time and Daily Routines
We'll learn how to tell the time using 'um … Uhr' and describe a simple daily routine in the present tense.
About this lesson
In this lesson, we build on essential time expressions and practise saying when we do things throughout the day. We'll work with common present-tense verbs and time adverbs (morgens, abends), take a close look at the separable verb 'aufstehen', and explore the verb-second word-order rule in German.
