Hello and welcome back to LingoBoss German. It is great to have you with us again. Hello! Are you ready for a completely normal day in German? A normal day? That sounds easy, Leo. Easy, but important. Today every sentence is about your daily routine. A quick reminder: in lesson five we learned to tell the time. Exactly. At seven o'clock, half past seven, quarter past nine – you already know these. And in lesson ten we were in the house: living room, kitchen, bedroom. Today we bring both together: time, the house – and new verbs. These verbs are called separable verbs. Their prefix separates from the verb. For example aufstehen becomes: I get up at seven o'clock. Let's go! Imagine: Lena is yawning all day. Something is not right. I wake up, I get up, I go to the bathroom – but I am so tired. Today we will find out what is going wrong in Lena's daily routine. Along the way you will learn eight important verbs for your own day. Every verb has a small prefix that moves to the end of the sentence. So always remember: verb in the middle, prefix right at the end. Listen carefully, speak aloud, and stay until the verb quiz at the end. We divide the day into six parts. The first part is early morning. In the early morning I wake up and get up. In the late morning, between nine and twelve, work or school begins. At midday, at twelve o'clock, many people eat lunch. In the afternoon, after lunch, I often go shopping. In the evening, when it gets dark, I watch TV or call friends. And at night we sleep. Say it with me: morning, late morning, midday, afternoon, evening, night. Now you will learn eight verbs for your daily routine: aufstehen, to get up. First I wake up, then I get up. Aufwachen and aufstehen are different. School or work begins. What time does your day begin? And at some point work stops. I stop at five o'clock. In the evening I like to watch TV. Fernsehen is my favourite verb. Almost every day I go shopping. I buy bread and milk. Afterwards I tidy up the kitchen. Tidying up is not always fun. And finally I call my mother. Now repeat all eight verbs aloud. Now comes the most important pattern: the sentence bracket. The verb has two parts: a stem and a prefix. The stem stays in position two: Ich stehe ... And the prefix moves right to the end of the sentence: ... auf. Together: I get up at seven o'clock. In questions the pattern stays the same: When does school start? Fängt stays at the front, an lands at the end. Remember: verb in the middle, prefix at the end – like a bracket around the sentence. Let's look at the conjugation of three verbs: aufstehen, anfangen, fernsehen. I get up, I start, I watch TV. Always with the prefix at the end. You get up, you start, you watch TV. He, she, or it gets up, starts, watches TV. We get up, we start, we watch TV. You (plural) get up, start, watch TV. They get up, start, watch TV – formal or plural. The prefix stays the same for every person: auf, an, fern – always at the end. Not every verb with a prefix is separable. Aufstehen is separable: I get up. The prefix moves to the end. Verstehen, however, is inseparable: I understand. Ver always stays fixed to the verb. Anfangen is separable and is strongly stressed: ANfangen. Bekommen is inseparable. Be is never stressed and never separates: beKOMmen. Aufräumen is separable: I tidy up my room. But erzählen is inseparable: I tell a story. Er never separates. Rule of thumb: be-, ver-, ent-, ge- never separate. The rest usually do. Our story begins very early. Lena wakes up at six o'clock. My alarm rings. I wake up, but I am still so tired. At quarter past six Lena finally gets up. I get up and get dressed quickly. In the kitchen Lena makes breakfast – just like in lesson ten. I have breakfast in the kitchen and drink a coffee. Suddenly Leo calls. The phone rings loudly. I pick up the phone. Leo calls me at seven o'clock – why so early? In the afternoon Lena goes shopping. She buys bread, milk, and fruit. I go shopping at the supermarket – you already know these words from lesson seven. At home Lena tidies up her room. I tidy up and put the books on the shelf – like in lesson ten. In the evening Lena watches TV in the living room. I watch TV and relax on the sofa. But why is Lena still so tired? Look closely. Oh! I never stop in time. I watch TV until midnight and go to sleep too late. When do you normally get up? I get up at seven o'clock. And when does your work start? My work starts at nine o'clock. When do you stop in the evening? I stop at five o'clock – but I watch too much TV! So that is the problem! You never stop in time. True. From today I will stop watching TV at ten o'clock. Now you build the sentences. Aufstehen and seven o'clock. I get up at seven o'clock. Shopping and four o'clock. I go shopping at four o'clock. Tidying up and room. I tidy up my room. Watching TV and evening. I watch TV in the evening. Final round: calling and mother. I call my mother. Quiz one: I get up at seven o'clock. Which prefix fits? Auf. I get up at seven o'clock. Quiz two: when does school start? An. When does school start? Quiz three: I tidy up my room. Auf. I tidy up my room. Quiz four: I watch in the evening. Fern. I watch TV in the evening. Final: I call my mother. An. I call my mother. You now know eight separable verbs for your daily routine. You know: the verb stays in the middle, the prefix moves to the end. You can combine time and verb: I get up at seven o'clock. You can recognise the difference between separable and inseparable verbs. Write one sentence in the comments: when do you get up? For example: I get up at eight o'clock and have breakfast in the kitchen. Save the lesson and review the sentence bracket tomorrow. See you soon in lesson twelve at LingoBoss German!
