The course covers the formation and usage of the Präteritum across regular, irregular, and mixed verbs, including modal and auxiliary verbs, with practical exercises to reinforce learning. It is designed for German language students who wish to improve their understanding and application of past tense in narrative and written contexts. The teaching style will be a mix of instructional content and hands-on practice, catering to both beginners and intermediate learners who need a solid foundation in German grammar. Teaching language will be German - only in case something is not understood I can answer in English.

Students will learn the Präteritum (simple past tense) in German, gaining skills in forming and using past tense verb forms. This understanding will enhance their ability to narrate events and express actions that occurred in the past, improving their overall proficiency in German. Mastery of the Präteritum is essential for effective communication in both spoken and written German, particularly in academic, formal, and literary contexts. Students will get a PDF with example sentences and exercises, as well as online exercises to train Gap-Fill for this topic.
