The environment is very important to me and I do everything I can to protect the environment. Instead of having a bath, I shower quickly and when I brush my teeth, I don't let the water run, in order to save water. I also ride my bike to school every day, and when I'm older I'm going to buy a fuel-efficient car. I also close the windows and doors when the heating is on and I often wear a thick jumper in the winter in order to save energy.

Winter safety: Winter tire regulations for Germany and other countries

I live in a city and the bus and train connections are really good. It's expensive to live in the town centre and often there aren't enough parking spaces, so I often travel by public transport. At home, my family is also very environmentally-friendly. My father has a fuel-efficient car and at work he tries to use less paper. My mother has also recently replaced all traditional bulbs in our house with energy-saving lights. Although energy-saving lightbulbs are better for the environment, traditional lightbulbs were cheaper to buy.

Ironically, the ban led to large numbers of people bulk-buying traditional lightbulbs in Germany and hoarding them before stocks were replaced with the new energy-saving bulbs.

  • You might here this form more often in the Rheinland than in the south. I wouldn't recommend using it, especially in written German, but you will hear it. Not sure how to incorporate the 'deutsch' here though, as the word after beim should be capitalised, maybe 'Ich bin seit 2 Jahren beim Deutschlernen'?

    I highly recommend it for understanding and learning German. It seems rather old fashioned to suggest a book these days, but when I was at university, Hammer Grammar was the definitive work, and I certainly found it very useful. I still have Hammer's Grammar at home, as well as the workbook, and I don't find it an easy guide at all; there are much better books out there for beginners. I now have this one which I find much more user-friendly. Die Deutschen und ihre Werte alternatively: Wertvorstellungen haben mich schon immer fasziniert.

    If you want to express that you are doing something at this very moment, I would suggest to use an adverbial phrase, e. I would not use forms like "Ich bin ein Buch am lesen" even in spoken language, as this is really bad German. Deutschlernen is fine, but I would use "am" instead of "beim". Posted 22 Apr German Grammar doesn't use the gerund.

    When using the gerund as a nouns just translate it as the German infinitive you can also do this in English:. Both of these sentences are in the passive. They are actually passive sentences in the simple past. So you would have to use the German passive construction to write these. But, as for the gerund, you would use it as the noun example above. If however, you had a sentence that was using a gerund as a verb in the past you would use the equivalent German form combined as mentioned above:. I will be flying to Frankfurt tomorrow.

    Ich fliege nach Frankfurt morgen. My German is not great, but even I can see quite a few mistakes in this thread.

I know my own german grammar's pretty crap in practice and my usual typos are surely present in anythign I type Lexicon, if you still can, it might be better if you could go back and edit your post to remove the typos and other such mistakes so as to avoid confusion for beginners.
