Wie bilde ich das Perfekt und wann benutze ich das Perfekt, wann das Präteritum. was once sind starke Verben? Diese Fragen findest du hier beantwortet. Der Sachverhalt wird einfach auf den Punkt gebracht, wobei die in der Schule verwendeten Fachbegriffe anhand von Beispielen erklärt werden. Fachwörter werden beim Gebrauch direkt erklärt und der Leser nicht alleingelassen. Die Grammatik verdeutlicht anhand von vielen Schaubildern die Grundbauweise des deutschen Satzes und der deutschen Sprache insgesamt. Auf diese Weise werden das Thema 'Satz' und das Thema 'Komma' schließlich vor dem Hintergrund des sukzessiv aufgebauten Grundwissens behandelt. Dabei machen wir Streifzüge durch die Gefilde von Adverbialsätzen, Infinitivsätzen und wagen uns in die tiefen Sümpfe von Relativsätzen und den gefürchteten Dass-Sätzen vor. Von oben überblicken wir sodann das schreckliche Tal der Partizipialkonstruktionen und der unliebsamen Nominalisierungen.

Der Autor ist selber Vater von drei Kindern und kennt die spezifischen Schwierigkeiten von Kindern in den Fächern des sprachlichen Bereichs sehr genau. Er hat an der Universität Bonn Germanistik und Anglistik (M.A.) sowie Latein, Linguistik, synchrone und diachrone deutsche Sprachwissenschaft studiert. Diskursiv konzipiert, schreitet die Grammatik gleichsam einem Freunde etwas erklärend voran, wobei sie anhand dieser Methode in den conversation mit dem Leser eintritt und guy speedy nicht merkt, dass guy sich die wichtigsten grammatischen Grundkenntnisse aneignet. Besonderen Fokus hat der Autor auf ein kleinschrittiges Voranschreiten gelegt. Das Vorgehen dabei conflict, lieber immer wieder den scheinbar selbstverständlichen Schritt beim Erklären nicht zu überspringen, sondern gerade anhand dessen den Sachverhalt zu durchleuchten.

Mit komfortabler Navigation.
