6 Hast du viele Geschenke bekommen? Talking about birthday gifts 3.1 What did you get? haben + bekommen To ask someone what they got for their birthday and to talk about what was received, we use different forms of haben with bekommen ( have received or more colloquially got ). Look closely at these examples: Ich habe ein Handy bekommen. I received a mobile phone. Was hast du von deiner Familie bekommen? What did you get from your family? Er hat eine Ratte von Julia bekommen. He received (got) a rat from Julia. Julia hat eine Mütze bekommen. Julia got a beanie/cap. Wir haben CDs bekommen. We received CDs. Was habt ihr von Opa bekommen? What did you get from Grandpa? Die Kinder haben ein Computerspiel bekommen. The children received a computer game. Was haben Sie bekommen, Herr Lenz? What did you receive, Herr Lenz? Did you notice the forms of the verb haben = to have? ich habe I have wir haben we have du hast you have ihr habt you have (plural) er/sie/es hat he/she/it has sie haben they have Sie haben you have (polite) Copy these examples, and the verb haben, into your Notebook

7 3.2 haben = to have How well do you know that verb? Complete the following exercise by filling in the correct form of haben. Copy the final version of these sentences onto a sheet of paper and send it to your teacher, and/or do them next time you speak. 1. Christian eine Ratte von Julia bekommen. 2. Ich ein T-shirt von Oma bekommen. 3. Tobi einen Fußball bekommen. 4. du viele Geschenke bekommen? 5. Die Kinder einen Hund bekommen. 6. Wir CDs und DVDs von der Familie bekommen. 7. Was Sie bekommen, Frau Gruber? 8. Max eine Gitarre bekommen. 3.3 Forms of ein after the verb There is another point to focus on with these sentences, and that is the form of the word ein when it comes after the verb (when it s the object of the verb). If you look at the examples and exercise from 3.1 and 3.2, you will see different forms of ein have been used, eg. Julia hat eine Mütze bekommen and Ich habe ein Handy bekommen. You might remember that after the verb different forms of certain words are used. (Refer to Kb pp if you want to revise this.) Turn to Ab p129 Ex 1 Tobis Geburtstag and have a look at the endings on ein in the exercise. The masculine der-words have einen, the feminine die-words have eine and the neuter das-words have ein: eg. Tobi hat einen Fußball eine Ratte ein Handy bekommen. einen Baseball eine Mütze ein T-Shirt einen Basketball eine CD ein Computerspiel einen Hund eine DVD ein Video einen Kuchen eine Krawatte ein Buch - 7 -

8 3.4 Write the examples above into your Notebook. Now try Ab p131 Ex6 einen, eine oder ein? 3.5 Finish this lesson by completing Ab p130 Ex 4 Christians Geburtstag and Ab p131 Ex 5 Julias Geburtstagwünsche Check your Solutions for your Workbook exercises and let your teacher know how you went. Tobi hat einen Fußball von Christian bekommen. Possessive Pronouns: unser (our) and euer (your) 4.1 In the Lesson 3 we looked at how ein changed according to which noun it was with and when it came after the verb. Previously we have studied possessive pronouns like mein, dein, sein, ihr which all took the same endings as ein. If you want to revise this quickly, read Kb p35, pp141-2 and p153b

9 4.2 This lesson we are adding two more possessives to the list: unser (our) and euer (your). Look firstly at Kb p103 Fokus b. Die Geschenke Audio CD3 track 32. Picture 1: the people are showing what they have, using the subject (or nominative) form of the possessive pronoun. This is the form we use with the verb sein (to be). Here are the sentences, check carefully the spelling of unser (our) and euer (your). der Fußball: die CD: das Buch: die Geschenke: Das ist unser Fußball. Das ist unsere CD. Das ist unser Buch. Das sind unsere Geschenke. Das ist euer Fußball. Das ist eure CD. Das ist euer Buch. Das sind eure Geschenke. So, with der and das words we use unser and euer (Both forms end in -er.) With die words (singular and plural), we use unsere and eure forms end in -e.) (Both Copy these examples and the brief rules into your Notebook, under the heading Possessive pronouns: Our and your. 4.3 Try Ab p132, Ex 7 unser oder unsere? remembering to check the gender and number (der, die, das, die) of the noun which follows unser(e). Check your Solutions. -9

10 4.4 Back to Kb p103 Fokus b. Die Geschenke: Picture 2: something is happening to those gifts, they now come after the verb and we use the object (or accusative) forms. Here are the sentences from Pic 2, check carefully the spelling of unser (our) and euer (your) when they are with the object of the verb, they come after the verb. der Fußball: Die Ratte frisst unseren Fußball. Ich repariere euren Fußball. die CD: Sie frisst unsere CD. Ich repariere eure CD. das Buch: Sie frisst auch unser Buch. Ich repariere euer Buch. die Geschenke: Die Ratte frisst unsere Geschenke! Ich kann eure Geschenke reparieren! The forms of unser and euer are the same as those above except for the masculine, or der words. They have had the letter n added (when the object of the verb). Copy these examples and rules into your Notebook, under the notes from Try Ab p132, Ex 8 unseren, unsere oder unser? remembering to check the gender and number (der, die, das, die) of the noun which follows unser(e). Check your Solutions. Next unit we ll do more work on saying your in German and revise his and her as well! Hier sind unsere Geschenke!
