In the supermarket
This lesson's focus is mainly on food and drinking. We will also introduce the concept of irregular verbs and
we will classify them into several groups so that it will be easier for you to handle these verbs.
Herr Becker and his little daughter Anne went to the supermarket to buy food for tonight.
Their remote relatives from the United States are coming to visit them in Germany for the first time.
The Beckers want to offer them great food and the first step to prepare a great meal is to
buy the right ingredients at the supermarket.
Read the following dialog between Herr Becker and Anne aloud to yourself.
Then read it once again (aloud) before continuing with the lesson.
Now, unlike in the lessons before, we won't translate every sentence into English.
Only the new and unknown words will be translated.
Herr Becker (B): Anne, was brauchen wir für heute Abend? | what, need, for, this evening (tonight) | Anne (A): Zuerst brauchen wir Obst und Gemüse. | first, need, fruit, vegetables | B: Ok, das gibt es alles dort drüben. | Ok, that is all over there. | A: Wir müssen auch Schweinefilets und Knödel kaufen . | must (have to), porkchops, dumplings, to buy | B: Sollen wir auch Limonade kaufen ? | shall, lemonade, to buy | A: Ja, warum nicht? | Yes, why not? | B (asking a store assistant): Entschuldigen Sie ? Wo finden wir Limonade? | Excuse me, where, to find, lemonade | Assistant: Sie finden die Getränke dort drüben. | to find, beverages, over there | A und B: Danke schön . | Thank you | B (to Anne): Haben wir Wein zu Hause? | to have, wine, at home | A: Nein ! Du hast Recht. Wir müssen also auch Wein kaufen . | no, to be right, must, then, wine, to buy | |
Repeat reading this dialog one more time. There are plenty of new things in the dialog above.
Throughout this lesson (on the following pages), we will explain everything that's new here in
detail and do plenty of exercises on the new grammar.
