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 ibungs-

buch der deutschen Grammatik, first published in 1985. It is intended

for lower-intermediateand 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 I1 deal with the parts of

the simple sentence, Part I11 with the adjective declensionsand 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 11.

In the new edition 5 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

ofGerman is also ideally suited for use as self-study material.
