In this book all the grammatical topics of Level A1 are explained in detail. But this book is not just a grammar book. In addition to explaining the rules of grammar, other important elements of language learning, such as the necessary vocabulary have been added in this book. From this point of view, this book is completely different from other conventional grammar books and is perfectly suited to meet the actual needs of students. This book has the following 5 parts:



Part 1: This section describes the German alphabet and which letter is used for which sound. There are also some definitions of grammar (e.g: words, sentences, types of words etc.)



Part 2: A1-01-01 to A1-13-01: Here are the grammatical topics of Level A1. First there is an index from which one can get an overall picture of the whole section.



Part 3: In the third part, a list of about 6000 words from Stufe A1 to Stufe B1 has been added in German-English alphabetical order.



Part 4: In the fourth part, words of the third part are arranged in English-German alphabetical order.



Part 5: In this section a list of "Präsens, Präteritum, Konjunktiv-II and Partizip-II" forms of irregular verbs has been added.



The last chapter (Kapitel 13) of level A1 is very important – important in the sense that German sentence structure has been discussed here basing on the topics discussed in this section and in comparison with English sentence structure.
