Preface
It is not possible to master a language without gaining insight into
its system of rules. This is true of the mother tongue as well as the
target language.
This book is a new edition of the highly successful
Lehr- und Übungs­
buch der deutschen Grammatik,
first published in 1985. It is intended
for lower-intermediate and intermediate learners of German who
want to acquire a solid, coherent knowledge of German grammar. It
offers simple, sometimes simplified rules with extensive examples,
lists and tables for reference, and a large number of exercises. For
the new edition, the rules and explanations have been broken down
into smaller steps, and the exercises assigned to these individual
steps more precisely. Some simple exercises have been added to sec­
tions dealing with elementary grammar.
This book is clearly structured. Parts I and II deal with the parts of
the simple sentence, Part III with the adjective declensions and Part
IV with the subjunctive. The use of prepositions is covered in Part V.
This is often more of a semantic problem than a grammar one and
it is recommended that Part V be used in conjunction with Parts I
and II.
In the new edition § 63 has been added as an additional section.
This offers an overview of the most important tenses and the differ­
ences between them. At the back of the book is a fold-out section
for quick reference, with the most important features of verb conjuga­
tion and noun and adjective declension. The terminology used (and
explained in detail in the appendix) corresponds to that generally
used in German as a foreign language teaching today; declension
tables follow the sequence nominative, accusative, dative, genitive.
Grammar rules can only help you to understand how a language
functions. It is more important to be able to use them. The exer­
cises are therefore an important component of the book. Wherever
possible and meaningful, the exercises are not made up of single,
individual sentences, but constitute one continuous text.
Whilst the vocabulary used in the example sentences and in the
exercises in the opening chapters is fairly simple, it becomes more
demanding in the latter part of the book. The more challenging
exercises are marked with a dark red box.
Thanks to the Key (available separately), which enables learners
working on their own to check their answers, the
Practice Grammar
of German
is also ideally suited for use as self-study material.
