German expressions and repeat.

You may have noticed that in the
sentence for Where can one buy
tickets?

the verb buy is at the end of the
sentence. That is because German
grammar sometimes places helping
verbs, like can, second in the sentence
and the main part of the verb at
the end.

CCsay how long you’ve had a condition and
CCask how often you should take medication
Part 1
Track 51
Here are the key phrases you’ll hear in today’s conversation. Listen to the English meaning. Then, listen to the
German expressions and repeat.
CC English expressionsc German expressions
What can I do for you?
I have stomach pains.
How long have you had the pains?
Since last night.
Did you eat something spicy?
Yes, we ate curry.
I’ll give you a few tablets.
How often should I take the tablets?
Take two tablets every two hours.
Was kann ich für Sie tun?

Wie lange haben Sie die Schmerzen schon?

Ja, wir haben Curry gegessen.
Ich gebe Ihnen ein paar Tabletten.
Wie oft soll ich die Tabletten nehmen?
Nehmen Sie zwei Tabletten alle zwei Stunden.

answer the questions below.
1. What’s the matter with Marco?
2. Has Marco eaten anything spicy?
Part 3
Listen to the conversation again and answer the questions.
Track 53
1. How long has Marco had the stomach pains?
2. How often should Marco take the tablets?
Part 4
Track 54
Now listen to the conversation again. Answer the questions about the
meanings of certain words. Then, practise using the expressions.
1. What is the meaning of Wie oft soll ich die Tabletten nehmen?
Language tip!
German uses combined sounds in
many words. For example, Schmerzen
has s-c-h and Stunden has s-t. These
words can be tricky, so it is a good
idea to practise them and other words
with combined sounds.
Language tip!
In many cases, the German
expressions you hear won’t directly
translate to an English phrase that
you’re used to. For example, in English
we’d say How long have you had the
pains? The German phrase Wie lange
haben Sie die Schmerzen schon
literally translates as How long have
you the pains already?
2. When do you use Wie lange . . . ?
3. What does etwas Scharfes mean?
