[Click] Substitute Personal Pronouns For Nouns
Bitte diese Seite fertig machen. - Finish this sheet, substitute personal pronouns for nouns. Do this one step at a time, paying attention to case and proper word order. Use the example as a reference.
[Click] Sentence Building (Einen Satz Bauen)
Ihr könnt eine beliebige Zeit wählen (Präsens, Imperfekt, Perfekt, Futur . . . )
It partially depends on the time phrase I provided. You are welcome to add a location and a few adjectives and/or a relative clause or another dependent clause, if you feel comfortable.
However, I want you to start as small as possible to make sure your sentence structure is correct. If you then add one piece after each other, you will be on the safe side.
[Click] Forming Sentences from sentence snippets
In the above sheet, try to reassemble the sentences (I took away capitalization for the beginning of the sentence and even split noun and adjective to challenge you more). Be advised that there are two or three sentences with a short relative clause embedded additionally.
Here are some charts to help you:
