assigning the homework to you right now Write dow please share your own example using one of these verbs in the comments but only after class The first question you're surely what is a prefix A prefix is a syllable added at the beginning of a word serving as a prefix e ones we place before a word A prefix can greatly alter the meaning of a verb Let me show you an example You've surely already encountered the word to lay used but have you ever used the verb "ablegen" yourself I'll show you with this example how much a prefix can change the meaning of a verb The verb we use "legen" when moving an object for example she puts the book on the table So the woman wants to place the book somewhere set a specific place And put down Take a look at this example The bag is so heavy I'm putting it down for a moment We compare "legen" and put it down right away She places the book on the table We understand we place something in a specific location So we need also a preposition indicating location And 'ablegen' To put away means much more than that ow to remove something or erase it the bag is so heavy I'm putting it down shortly Very good you've grasped the meaning of "ab " which means we can now proceed Now let's look at everyday verbs you'll need very often We start with washing and doing the dishes We use wash when we clean something in the Clean water We use it frequently for textiles and clothing For example wash the bed linens at 60 degrees A tip: use the verb wash along w washing is irregular meaning A receives it in the second and third Wash the bed linens at 60 degrees We use washing not only for fabrics and clothing but also to clean our bodies—for example I wash my hands And exactly when is it that Do I use it for rinsing You can use it primarily when you're rinsing f you want to indicate that you wish to remove dirt from something when removing dir you wish to remove with water for instance he washes the dirt off s car off Similarly to the verb wash the verb rinse is also naturally Rinse I also use rinsing when cleaning something in water but often refers to the tableware such as plates knives and Glasses for example after eating he washes the dishes He washes them of course in the sink So I use the verb "to rinse" when I'm rinsing something in the I'd like to clean everything generally And when should I use rinsing Rinsing carries the meaning that you want to remove dirt from something Rinsing naturally also refers to dishes for example this plate must absolutely be rinsed off Tip: here we have a present tense passive constructio This plate must absolutely be washed Great job you've already completed half of it Just keep going a little longer o learn even more verbs After washing and rinsing we mus of course dry or dry off The base verb is dry Dry means that something is dried so that no water or moisture remains For example I leave the laundry out in the fresh air dry Here we have a passive construction with "lassen" plus infinitive I let the laundry dry in the fresh air And drying off You use drying off when you deliberately remove water from a I remove the moisture For instance after rinsing I dry the dishes So The water is wiped away with a dish towel Two important verbs we even for spring cleaning you need to clear out and remove things clearing out means tha something like tidying up or clearing out the space—for example we need to empty the old apartment because we're moving today All furniture and belongings must be removed from the apartment so that it is empty We need to clear out the old apartment because we are moving today Clearing something away is more specific We use "clear away" when removing a particular item from a place For example after I clear the table after dinner One more small tip here We can replace "abräumen" with "cover" when referring to a dining table speak For example after dinner I clear the table You You're almost there We just need one more verb pair so there's still one A few minutes spent on it—it's worth it Wipe and dry You can use the verb "wipe" when cleaning in general Surface meaning when you clean a surface For example the The woman mops the floor The tool she uses is called a mop so the woman is mopping mop the floor with the mop We don’t use wiping as commonly as mopping You can reuse wiping if you’re using a You clean the specific surface by wiping it off this is often referred to as "wiping over " For example the waiter wipes the table And did you pay close attention Now we'll take the test to reinforce the newly learned
