Questions
Are the umlauts and spellings correct?
Yes. Every word was checked twice, including grün, weiß, fünf and zwölf.
Which German do the posters use?
Standard German as taught in UK schools.
Why does the verb move after weil?
In German, weil and obwohl send the verb to the end of the clause. Denn does not. The KS3-4 poster notes this next to each word.
Can I print them on A3?
Yes. Each poster comes as both A4 and A3 PDFs.
