you subscribed to my channel This is absolutely crucial That's your thank-you for my hard work So click Subscribe now give me a thumbs up and then good luck I will read you five sentences Decide whether each sentence is grammatically correct or incorrect Number one The government hopes that the new law will help reduce unemployment Carefully read the sentence Say it out loud and decide whether it's right or wrong The sentence is incorrect We have a passive construction with a modal verb here The word order in the subordinate clause is crucial Here we have three verbs together The word order of the verbs in this sentence is incorrect Can you correct the order of the verbs That sentence is correct as it stands First comes the past participle then the auxiliary verb werden and finally the modal verb Did you know that If you knew the statement was false you get a point Could you even correct the statement Now jot down two points Make sure to remember your score Our second sentence is Take a close look at this sentence Here we have a verb accompanied by a preposition Is it correct I'll give you a few more seconds to think No do you know it This sentence is correct Did you know When using verbs with prepositions it's essential to always remember which case the preposition requires There's an extra point if you know in which case healthy eating is used The correct answer is the accusative case Also write down your score One point or two points if you also knew the case We now move on to sentence number three Read the sentence very carefully Is it true or false The statement is incorrect But where exactly is the mistake The error lies in the sentence structure Take a few more seconds to consider it o correct the sentence The restrictive connector That's why the verb goes in second position Did you know that Definitely let me know in the comments at the end We're continuing with the fourth set Attention now it gets a bit trickier Take a moment to calmly go over the sentence Is it grammatically correct or incorrect If you said it correctly congratulations— this sentence is accurate Why Because here we have a construction using "dazu das " This leads to the expression of cause and effect And this structure is correct Write down your point and then comes our final sentence in this section Despite having prepared intensively the candidate failed the examination What do you mean Right or wrong If you've written this incorrectly here great The sentence is indeed incorrect Why Despite is a preposition not a conjunction The combination despite that is therefore incorrect Can you correct the sentence I' ll give you a bit more time You have several options right away to improve the sentence Take a look here Although he had prepared thoroughly The candidate passed the examination Here we have the concessive connector although used If you wish to use despite Then the sentence reads as follows Despite thorough preparation the candidate failed the exam Despite is a preposition that is followed by a noun in the genitive case so we need to slightly restructure the sentence here and from intensively prepared a nominal group in the genitive case of intensive preparation This kind of error This is typical of learners who still struggle to distinguish between prepositions and conjunctions If you've understood this now Great that was part 1 Well how many points do you have so far Don't forget to jot them down Now let's move on for now On the gap-fill exercises Oh that's also a challenge for me trying to record it The video is long I hope you're still with me Part 2 In this part I'll show you sentences with a blank Your task is to fill in the correct words It can be a connector a verb form or even a noun-verb combination To make it a bit simpler I'll include a few more details for you Number 1: Indirect speech Konjunktiv 1 The professor claimed that he The study has already been completed Look closely at this sentence As you can see this is about indirect speech or the subjunctive mood 1 Now fill in the missing word The correct solution is the professor claimed that he had already completed the study In indirect speech we use in Germa The subjunctive mood 1 He had instead of he has This is a classic C1 topic as it demonstrates your ability to convey information in a neutral manner If you knew the solution then score a point now and get ready for the next sentence Number 2 A restrictive connector is missing here Are you ready Write down your solution now The answer is I' m going for a run tomorrow unless it rains heavily Unless is a restrictive connector that introduces a condition restricted You will definitely go for a walk Only if it rains will you stay home If you Once you've properly filled in this gap write down another point Sentence number 3 Future perfect By this evening tomorrow the project should hopefully be completed Future perfect A tense we don' t use all that often in German You should definitely be familiar with them at the C1 level Now identify the gaps The right solution is to wait until tomorrow evening by which time we should hopefully have completed the project We use Futur II to express certainty about a future completion Completed actions in the future Did you know that Then mark a point and let me know in the comments whether you're familiar with this topic Sentence number 4 He presented many arguments but he failed to convince the jury This task should pose no difficulty for you as a grammar expert We're looking for a conciliatory connector You must know him Here is the solution Although he presented many arguments he failed to convince the jury That is A classic concessive sentence It expresses a contrast We conclude this section with a slightly more complex sentence I This is a noun- verb construction which is very important at the C1 level Carefully examine the sentence we are looking for e correct preposition and the verb After the accident she had to purchase a lengthy treatment The solution is after the accident She had to accept a lengthy treatment as a consequence The noun- verb construction "in Kauf nehmen" means to accept a negative outcome Typical of C1 level are precisely such connections Did you know Then add another point to your list Well how's it going so far How many points have you got already If you've correctly filled in four or five of these gaps then you've already got a Excellent feeling for complex structures If you've noticed that you were still uncertain about certain tasks don't worry That's exactly what my

or part belongs to belongs to a sentence You're practically a grammar detective I'll show you three sentences Your task is to identify which one does not belong o identify which grammar topic is at the center Are you ready Then let's begin After he had arrived he immediately we In your office read the sentence carefully look at the bolded words I want to know whic The grammatical tense at play here is The answer is past perfect It indicates that one action in the past was completed before another occurred He arrived first then he left the office Have you already encountered this verb tense Surely yes If you answered the question correctly you may now record another point And the It continues with the next sentence He said he had already solved the problem Take another look at the sentence and the Highlight the words in bold What grammatical phenomenon is this Exactly Here we have the subjunctive 1 or indirect speech We've already covered this topic earlier You'll find it primarily in In reports scientific texts or newspaper articles when opinions are presented neutrally Note down another point f you had known And now we've already reached the final sentence of this section In two years we will all have turned the pages of this book Understood Here too I'd like to know from you which grammatical tense it is If you've written down Futur 2 you're exactly right Futur 2 this tense allows you to speak about about completed actions in the future We already discussed this earlier How did it go If you immediately recognized all three structures en you're already thinking like a language pro In the final part of this video we'll cover the nominal style This will make your German sound more polished and natural automatically more precise and academic In the nominal style we use as many nouns as possible which often makes the text shorter and more precise If you're interested in this topic be sure to check out this video Here I'll explain it to you go into everything in great detail and specifically address the difference between nominal and verbal style I'll show you a sentence in each right away Nominal style and two sentences in the verbal style Only one of the two conveys the same meaning as the nominal sentence Your task is to select the correct sentence Ready Then the final section of your grammar test now begins Number 1 Which of the two sentences has the same meaning The government has decided to carry out the reform The government has carried out a reform Carefully examine all three sentences Which of the sentences A or B conveys the same meaning as the sentence in the nominal style like the first sentence The correct answer is A Sentence A emphasizes the decision regarding implementation precisely what is expressed in the nominal style Sentence B describes an already completed action not the decision itself Therefore sentence B does not fit Did you know that Then write it down Now mark a point Sentence number 2 A The company' s productivity is increasing B The company has set itself the goal of increasing productivity What is correct A or B Of course B The nominalized sentence describes an intention or goal not an already occurred fact Therefore the goal The sentence B describes the situation after the client's rejection leading to intense discussions within the team A The client was rejected and this decision was thoroughly discussed within the team B and it was extensively discussed within the team Intensively discussed within the team Carefully read the sentences and select the correct one The correct sentence is A The rejection by the client Meaning that the client has rejected something The client s active in the verbal sentence meaning it functions as the subject And number 4 The lack of control over AI systems by Official institutions cause uncertainty on the internet AI systems do not control official institutions which leads to uncertainty on the internet B Official institutions do not control The AI systems are not This leads to uncertainty on the internet Have you decided on B Then you've done everything right Why In the nominal style it states that the missing Control of AI systems by official authorities This means official authorities do not carry out the control Thus they are the subject in the active sentence In sentence A it would be exactly the opposite There the AI systems would The instances check themselves That obviously makes no sense Such structures are very typical of C1 level Once you understand this en you really have a great sense of language Great
