Who Says They Put It Away? in German
In “Who Says They Put It Away?”, you will practise distinguishing what someone says they have done from what you have actually checked. German subjective wollen with a perfect infinitive marks a person's claim about their own earlier action, rather than a plan or an independently confirmed fact. Because this construction can sound sceptical, pair it with curious questions and calm, practical checks when talking with your primary-school child.
