Little Things Still to Be Done in German

Practise describing the little tasks still to be done before feeds, baths and stroller walks while keeping your baby close and included. This C1 unit introduces the gerundive attribute: zu + Partizip I with an adjective ending, which describes something that needs to be done or can be done. Because this construction sounds formal, the guide also offers warmer, simpler alternatives for everyday talk with a baby or toddler.
