# Wortschatz & Grammatik A1 — Abschnitt P: Konjunktionen
|
||
|
||
Seiten 101–102 (Teil 2 Grammatik) · Lösungen S. 115 · Übungen P1–P2
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
- Skill focus: Grammatik (coordinating conjunctions: denn, aber, oder)
|
||
- Topic: connecting two independent clauses with denn/aber/oder in
|
||
everyday reasoning and planning dialogues
|
||
- Relates to *Menschen* Lektion(en): mostly **new** — Menschen A1.1 does
|
||
not formally teach coordinating conjunctions. Sentences up to L12 stay
|
||
mostly simple/single-clause; connecting two full clauses with
|
||
denn/aber/oder is a genuine step beyond the main course's scope,
|
||
though a natural and important one for producing more fluent speech.
|
||
|
||
## Grammar covered
|
||
|
||
### P1, P2: denn, aber, oder — coordinating conjunctions, new grammar
|
||
|
||
| Konjunktion | Bedeutung | Word order effect |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| denn | because/for (gives a reason) | none — both clauses keep normal V2 order |
|
||
| aber | but (contrast) | none — both clauses keep normal V2 order |
|
||
| oder | or (alternative) | none — both clauses keep normal V2 order |
|
||
|
||
Unlike subordinating conjunctions (weil, dass, wenn — not covered in
|
||
this book at all), these three **coordinating** conjunctions do **not**
|
||
send the verb to the end of the clause — both halves of the sentence
|
||
keep standard verb-second word order. This makes them the easiest
|
||
connector type to start with.
|
||
|
||
Examples: "Ich lerne Deutsch, **denn** ich habe einen deutschen
|
||
Freund." / "Ich lerne Deutsch, **aber** ich vergesse immer wieder
|
||
alles." / "Gehen wir zum Essen **oder** schauen wir uns den Film an?"
|
||
|
||
## Exercise summary
|
||
|
||
1. **P1 Pro und Kontra** — match sentence-starter halves ("Ich lerne
|
||
Deutsch, denn.../aber...") to 12 continuation clauses, sorting them
|
||
into the denn-group and the aber-group.
|
||
2. **P2 …, aber es ist vielleicht sehr teuer!** — join pairs of
|
||
underlined sentences from a planning dialogue with the correct
|
||
conjunction (denn/aber/oder), 7 times.
|
||
|
||
## Answer key highlights
|
||
|
||
- P1: **denn**-group → b) d) e) g) h) j); **aber**-group → a) c) f) i)
|
||
k) l).
|
||
- P2: 1. "Gehen wir zum Essen **oder** schauen wir uns den neuen Film
|
||
mit Tom Hanks an?" 2. "Ich möchte gern den Film sehen, **denn** er hat
|
||
eine gute Kritik bekommen." 3. "Ja, Kino macht sicher Spaß, **aber**
|
||
ich möchte gern einmal das neue indische Restaurant ausprobieren."
|
||
4. "Das möchte ich gerne, **aber** es ist vielleicht sehr teuer."
|
||
5. "Ich esse gern indisch, **denn** das schmeckt so interessant."
|
||
6. "Im Kino ist es gemütlich, **denn** es gibt dort so weiche Sessel."
|
||
7. "Wir sehen eine DVD an **oder** wir gehen früh ins Bett."

## Notes / gotchas
|
||
|
||
- **This section is genuinely new grammar** relative to Menschen A1.1 —
|
||
but it's low-complexity new grammar (word order doesn't change), so
|
||
it's a good, gentle first step beyond the main course rather than a
|
||
steep jump.
|
||
- **This is the shortest grammar topic in the book (2 sub-exercises, 2
|
||
pages)** — pairs naturally with a review of any earlier section for a
|
||
single combined study session.
|
||
- **Worth flagging what's still missing**: subordinating conjunctions
|
||
(weil, dass, wenn, ob), which **do** send the verb to the end, are not
|
||
covered anywhere in this book — that's a genuine gap relative to full
|
||
A1/A2 competence, and would need a different resource.
