This comprehensive review of the essence of German grammar focuses on the functional use of language and communicative competence.

  • begins each grammatical explanation with a short, contemporary, authentic text which demonstrates the grammatical feature in a natural context.
  • recycles grammar topics throughout the book in a variety of Anwendung und Kommunikation and Zusammenfassende Aktivitäten exercises and activities.
  • focuses on communicative competence and proficiency in each explanation, example, and exercise and avoids pattern drills common to other intermediate review grammars.
  • provides a separate chapter on German word order, an aspect of grammar particularly difficult for the non-native speaking intermediate student.
