Wortschatz & Grammatik A1 — Abschnitt Q: Zahlen
Seiten 103–106 (Teil 2 Grammatik) · Lösungen S. 115 · Übungen Q1–Q4
Note: this is the final section of the whole book. Wortschatz & Grammatik A1 is complete after this Abschnitt.
Overview
- Skill focus: Grammatik/Wortschatz (writing numbers as words, clock times/measurements/prices in words, ordinal numbers, dates)
- Topic: cardinal number addition puzzle, telling times/weights/prices aloud, ordinal numbers, writing full dates
- Relates to Menschen Lektion(en): L4 (Zahlen 100–1.000.000 — Q1 reinforces cardinal number formation), L8 (Uhrzeit — Q2 reinforces official/formal time-telling in full words). New beyond Menschen A1.1: Ordinalzahlen (Q3, Q4 — 1st, 2nd, 3rd...) and writing full calendar dates in words are not covered in Menschen A1.1 at all.
Grammar covered
Q1: Cardinal numbers as words — reinforces Menschen L4
Addition puzzle requiring numbers to be spelled out in full (dreiundzwanzig, siebenunddreißig, etc.) — same compound-number pattern as Menschen L4 (ones+und+tens: dreiundzwanzig = drei+und+zwanzig).
Q2: Uhrzeit, Maße, Preise in Worten — extends Menschen L8
Formal/official spoken forms for times (zwölf Uhr fünfundvierzig), prices (drei Euro fünfzig), and metric measurements (vier Komma fünf Kilogramm).
Tipp: When a comma appears in numbers/measurements, it can also be read in formal speech as "Komma": 4,5 kg = "vier Komma fünf Kilogramm"; 0,9 m = "null Komma neun Meter."
Q3, Q4: Ordinalzahlen und Datum — new grammar beyond Menschen A1.1
| Rule | Example |
|---|---|
| Numbers 1–19: stem + -te(n) | der vierte, der sechste, der zwölfte |
| Numbers 20+: stem + -ste(n) | der siebzigste, der hundertste, der fünfundzwanzigste |
| Irregular forms | erste, dritte, siebte (not "einte," "dreite," "siebente") |
Ordinal numbers are used for dates: "der 23. Mai" is read "der dreiundzwanzigste Mai." Full date format: "der [Ordinalzahl] [Monat] [Jahr in Worten]" — e.g. "der dreiundzwanzigste Mai neunzehnhundertneunundvierzig" (23 May 1949).
This entire ordinal-number and date-writing system is not covered anywhere in Menschen A1.1, which only teaches cardinal numbers and month names, not how to combine them into a spoken date.
Exercise summary
- Q1 Fit in Zahlen! — solve 14 addition problems, writing both addends and the sum in words, decoding a hidden-letter puzzle whose answer is a famous German mathematician/physicist.
- Q2 Zahlen, Zahlen, Zahlen … — write out 14 clock times, prices, and measurements in full words.
- Q3 Die dritte Aufgabe! — fill in 6 ordinal numbers (given as digits in parentheses) as words, in short dialogues.
- Q4 Der Wievielte ist heute? — write 7 full dates in words, partly from letter-scrambled hints.
Answer key highlights
- Q1: Lösungswort (puzzle answer) = Albert Einstein. Sample: 3+20 = dreiundzwanzig; 5+7 = zwölf; 24+13 = siebenunddreißig; 59+34 = dreiundneunzig (full 14-item list in source PDF p.115 if needed).
- Q2: zwölf Uhr fünfundvierzig; drei Euro (und) fünfzig (Cent); vier Kilo(gramm) (und) fünfhundert Gramm; zwanzig Uhr fünfzehn; null Uhr zwanzig; zweihundertneunundvierzig Euro (und) neunzig (Cent); ein Meter (und) zweiundsiebzig (Zentimeter); neunzig Zentimeter; siebenhundertdreißig Gramm; zehn Uhr siebenundfünfzig; eintausendachthundertsechsundsiebzig Euro; dreiundachtzig Kilometer; ein Uhr zehn; neunundsiebzig Euro (und) neunundneunzig (Cent).
- Q3: vierte; erste, zweite, dritte; siebzigste; sechste; hundertste; fünfundzwanzigste.
- Q4: der Dreiundzwanzigste, am Fünfundzwanzigsten; der zwölfte Dritte (12.3.), am Elften (11.); Vom einunddreißigsten Siebten bis zum vierzehnten Neunten; am zweiten Ersten (2.1.); der dreiundzwanzigste Mai neunzehnhundertneunundvierzig; am einundzwanzigsten Zehnten, bis zum neunzehnten Zwölften; Der vierundzwanzigste Zwölfte, am fünfundzwanzigsten und am sechsundzwanzigsten Zwölften.
Notes / gotchas
- Ordinal numbers and full-date writing are genuinely new relative to Menschen A1.1 — treat this whole Abschnitt as bonus content that rounds out practical number fluency, not as review.
- Q4's "Monat als Ordinalzahl" pattern (der zwölfte Dritte = 12.3. = March 12th, literally "the twelfth third [month]") is a distinctly German way of stating dates numerically that has no direct English equivalent — worth explaining explicitly since it's a common source of confusion (Germans write dates DD.MM., and when spoken both day and month become ordinal numbers).
- This closes out Wortschatz & Grammatik A1 in full (Abschnitt A–Q,
103 sub-exercises across 106 pages). The vocabulary/grammar map built
across this book (see
Ergaenzung/INDEX.md) can now be cross- referenced against Menschen A1.1's 12 lessons as a combined curriculum picture — several grammar points here (Imperativ, Dativ pronouns/ prepositions, comparison, coordinating conjunctions, ordinal numbers) go usefully beyond what Menschen alone covers, while the vocabulary sections (A–H) are almost entirely supplementary domain vocabulary (body, weather, housing, shopping, travel, work, official life) not found in Menschen's numbered lessons at all.
