This German grammar is designed as a companion to the "Collins Pocket German Dictionary" and the "Collins Pocket German Verb Tables". Designed to help students of German of all ages and at all levels, this title offers the user a clear, uncluttered step-by-step guide to the grammar of the language. The list of grammatical topics is arranged for maximum accessibility and the innovative use of colour helps the user to pick out the relevant learning point. Information is presented in tabular form, in a clear, attractive typography, to facilitate teaming and for ease of reference. The grammar points are accompanied by detailed examples and translations to help the student. Problem areas - such as tense usage, where German may differ markedly from English - are identified, and the user's attention is drawn to individual instances where language differences should be noted. In addition, there are sections on sentence structure, the use of numbers and punctuation. A full index, including both grammatical topics and key words in German and English, gives the user immediate access to the solution to his or her grammar query.

Collins Pocket German Grammar

The main section of the book consists of 200 fully conjugated German verbs, regular and irregular, weak and strong. Each is self-contained in a full-page spread showing all the major tenses, clearly set out with pronouns. The tables also tell you if the verb is weak or strong, and if it takes the auxiliary "haben" or "sein".  There is a special section on modal and auxiliary verbs, as well as an extensive introduction on the formation and use of tenses in German. A full alphabetical index of all the most widely used German verbs cross-refers the user to its basic model in the verb tables. And of course, German spelling reform has been fully implemented.
