What this unit covers

The topics below follow the published German Lang course framework for Unit 4. German Lang publishes no per-unit weighting, so there is no percentage to chase here.

Lessons in this unit

• Separable-Prefix Verbs13 min · 3 objectivesRecognize separable-prefix verbs and predict where the prefix goes in a main clause · Distinguish separable prefixes from inseparable ones · Use technology-related separable verbs correctly in the present tense
• Subordinate Clauses & Verb-Final Word Order14 min · 3 objectivesSend the conjugated verb to the end of a clause introduced by a subordinating conjunction · Use “weil,” “dass,” “wenn,” and “ob” to build complex sentences about technology · Punctuate and order a main clause followed by a subordinate clause correctly

What examiners penalize here

• On the argumentative-essay task, subordinate clauses raise your score for **complexity and organization**. Deploy a range of connectors — **weil** to support, **obwohl** to acknowledge a counterargument, **dass** to report views — and keep the verb at the end each time. Accurate complex sentences distinguish the top scores.

Practice German Lang

Our practice bank is drawn from across the whole course rather than filtered to one unit, which is closer to how the exam asks anyway — it will not tell you which unit a question is testing.
