Why Our Afternoon Went Differently in German
Explain why an afternoon changed by connecting real past obligations, permissions, and opportunities to their consequences. This C1 unit practises the Perfekt of modal verbs in subordinate clauses, helping you talk naturally with your primary-school child about school, homework, friends, and family plans. The focus is on what actually had to happen or was possible—not what would have happened under different circumstances.
