Hello everyone,
and welcome back. And speaking of back… mine doesn’t hurt anymore. Hooray.
That’s because since a few days, I am STANDING at my new awesome high-adjustable desk that I got sponsored from FlexiSpot.
“Oh my god, are you an influencer now, Emanuel?”
Yes, looks like I am.
Screw all these losers on TikTiok and Instagram… German teacher… that’s where it’s at :).
I got the model EG8, it’s a small elegant desk with a little drawer for cables and USB ports to charge your stuff. I absolutely love it.
If you’re in Germany, and you are looking for a high-adjustable desk… they have the FlexiSpot April Sale and May Brand Day sale going currently, so you might want to check it out at FlexiSpot.de.
So yeah, I am working standing today, which I love, and so I am in a really good mood.
Which is just what we need because today, we’ll do part five of our series on Talking about Time in German.
And today, we’ll start talking about the really interesting parts of the field because today it’s time for… drumroll…
German Time Prepositions
Now, if you’re not sure what a preposition actually is, then don’t worry. You’re not alone.
The long and short of it is that prepositions are words that relate entities in a sentences to each other.
Here’s an example:
“The table is on the cup”.
Here, the preposition tells us what the spatial relation is between the cup and the table… a very broken relationship. They should go to therapy.
But of course there are all kinds of domains besides space and one important one is time.
So time prepositions basically relate things in the time domain and today, we’ll look at the important German ones, see what they express and also go over a few really common mistakes English speakers tend to make.
If you want to know more about prepositions in general, I recommend my article about them. I’ll leave a link below.
But now, let’s jump right in and learn some time prepositions. Yeay!
