Unit 09 · Yesterday & health
Say three things you did yesterday.
The grammar finale — and a classic A1 writing task: the Absage-Mail (Liebe Anna, leider kann ich nicht kommen …). It is the kind of ~30-word message Goethe Schreiben Teil 2 asks for, and the ÖSD text task — a short reply e-mail — uses the same building blocks.
Unit 9 builds up to it:
- the Perfekt: Ich habe eingekauft. Ich bin ins Kino gegangen.
- war and hatte, so you can finally tell what happened yesterday
- your body and health: Kopfschmerzen, Fieber, Mein Bein tut weh
- the doctor and the pharmacy
- the mail itself, from Liebe Anna to Viele Grüße
The final lesson sends you into the writing simulator.
