Writing for purpose ✍️
A strong German written answer has a clear purpose, a few accurate structures and at least one justified opinion.
Key German 🔑
These phrases help structure a written answer.
Purpose and range
Purpose means answering the task. Range means adding controlled detail.
Check the meaning 🎯
Which option means I find?
- ich finde
- weil
- meiner Meinung nach
- nächstes Jahr
Match German to meaning 🔗
- ich finde
- weil
- meiner Meinung nach
- nächstes Jahr
- I find
- because
- in my opinion
- next year
weil changes word order
After weil, the verb normally goes to the end. That makes reasons useful but also a word-order check.
