Einkaufen in der Großstadt

Einkaufen in der Großstadt (Shopping in the Big City)

Heute möchte ich in der Stadt einkaufen. Ich brauche neue Bücher für die Schule und auch neue Hosen für die Arbeit. Zuerst fahre ich mit der U-Bahn zum Zentrum. Dort gibt es viele Geschäfte und auch große Märkte.

Ich finde die Bücher in einem kleinen Buchladen. Sie kosten zusammen vierzig Euro. Das ist ein guter Preis. Ich kaufe auch Äpfel, Bananen und Tomaten auf dem Markt. Die Verkäufer sind dort immer sehr freundlich. Am Nachmittag treffe ich meine Freunde in einem Café. Wir trinken Kaffee und essen Kuchen. Ich habe viele Pläne für den Tag.

📚 Grammar Focus: Plural Forms of Nouns (Die Pluralformen)

Explanation

Unlike English, German nouns form their plural in many different ways. There is no single rule, so you must learn the plural form with the singular noun. However, there are five common ways to form the plural: adding $-e$, $-n$ or $-en$, $-er$, adding an umlaut ($\text{ä}, \text{ö}, \text{ü}$) or umlaut plus ending, or no change at all.

Examples

  1. Singular: das Buch $\rightarrow$ Plural: die Bücher. (Umlaut + -er)

  2. Singular: die Hose $\rightarrow$ Plural: die Hosen. (Add -n)

Comprehension Question:

Was macht die Person am Nachmittag? (What does the person do in the afternoon?)
