Vergessen Sie nicht! icon Vergessen Sie nicht!

The position of “nicht” in a sentence is complicated in German. When you want to negate a separable-prefix verb, “nicht” is placed right before the prefix (second-to-last element).

Houssem geht heute Abend nicht aus. 
Ich lese nicht weiter.
Die Kinder machen die Bücher nicht zu.
Hans ruft seinen Freund nicht an.

Remember that “nicht” is always placed in front of “gern” when expressing that you do not enjoy doing something.

Wir spielen nicht gern Golf.
Ich esse nicht gern Pizza.
Anja sieht nicht gern fern.
Andy fährt nicht gern Ski.

writing icon Fragen stellen. Write a list of at least 15 questions to ask a fellow student about their personal information (name, age, where they come from and where they live), languages, subject of study, main hobbies, likes and dislikes, etc.  Bring these questions to your next lesson (digitally or printed). You will interview a fellow student, take notes and then use the information you obtain to write a mini-composition about them (see Einheit 2.14 for more information). Make sure to ask a wide variety of questions so that you learn lots of interesting things about your partner.
