# Wortschatz & Grammatik A1 — Abschnitt K: Adjektive
|
||
|
||
Seiten 85–86 (Teil 2 Grammatik) · Lösungen S. 113 · Übungen K1–K2
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
- Skill focus: Grammatik (predicative adjectives with sein, comparative/
|
||
superlative of gut/viel/gern)
|
||
- Topic: describing people/objects with adjective + sein, irregular
|
||
comparison forms
|
||
- Relates to *Menschen* Lektion(en): **L4** (Der Tisch ist schön —
|
||
predicative adjectives with sein; K1 directly reinforces this
|
||
pattern). **New beyond Menschen A1.1**: **K2's comparative/superlative
|
||
forms of gut, viel, gern are entirely new** — Menschen A1.1 does not
|
||
teach comparison (Komparativ/Superlativ) at all, irregular or regular.
|
||
|
||
## Grammar covered
|
||
|
||
### K1: Predicative adjectives with sein (reinforces Menschen L4)
|
||
Simple pattern: [Subject] + ist/sind + [adjective]. Menschen A1.1's "Der
|
||
Tisch ist schön" pattern extended to 10 more subject/adjective pairs.
|
||
|
||
### K2: Steigerung (comparison) of gut, viel, gern — **new grammar**
|
||
|
||
These three adjectives/adverbs are irregular in German (like
|
||
good/better/best in English) and are **not covered anywhere in Menschen
|
||
A1.1**:
|
||
|
||
| Grundform | Komparativ | Superlativ |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| gut (good) | besser | am besten |
|
||
| viel (much/a lot) | mehr | am meisten |
|
||
| gern (gladly/like to) | lieber | am liebsten |
|
||
|
||
Pattern: **lieber** = "prefer to" (Ich trinke lieber Tee = I prefer to
|
||
drink tea); **am liebsten** = "like most of all" (Am liebsten spiele ich
|
||
Tennis = my favorite thing to do is play tennis).
|
||
|
||
## Exercise summary
|
||
|
||
1. **K1 Wie ist …?** — build 10 sentences matching a picture to the
|
||
correct descriptive adjective.
|
||
2. **K2 Rap gefällt mir besser!** — complete 9 dialogues choosing the
|
||
correct comparative/superlative form of gut/viel/gern.
|
||
|
||
## Answer key highlights
|
||
|
||
- K1: ist verheiratet; ist krank; ist groß; ist klein; ist nett; ist
|
||
breit; ist neu; sind teuer; ist schwer; ist leicht (matching the
|
||
picture order 1–10; note the adjective pool has 10 items for 10
|
||
blanks, one-to-one).
|
||
- K2: lieber; besser; lieber/besser; mehr/am meisten; am besten; lieber;
|
||
am liebsten; am besten; mehr.
|
||
|
||
## Notes / gotchas
|
||
|
||
- **K2 is new grammar** — comparison (Komparativ/Superlativ) isn't part
|
||
of Menschen A1.1 at all, so present this as a bonus topic rather than
|
||
review. It's genuinely useful vocabulary (gern/lieber/am liebsten is
|
||
extremely common in everyday speech) even though it's technically
|
||
beyond the curriculum.
|
||
- **gern is an adverb, not an adjective** — "Ich spiele gern Tennis" (I
|
||
like playing tennis), not describing a noun. Worth distinguishing from
|
||
gut/viel, which behave more like typical adjectives.
|
||
- **This is the shortest section in the book so far (2 sub-exercises,
|
||
2 pages)** — good candidate to pair with a quick review of Section J
|
||
or a light practice session rather than a standalone session.
