Flashcards grammar terminology

In order to learn a foreign language, you need to gain an understanding of the way in which languages are structured. It helps to analyse your own native language since you have a native-speaker command of it – even if you aren’t aware of the ‘metalanguage’ linguists use to talk about what you are doing in practice.

In these flashcards you will find explanations of grammatical concepts you’ll come across in the different chapters of Essential German Grammar, with examples. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with these concepts thoroughly – they’re your tools!
