WACE German Second Language: Suggested Study Strategy

1Master subordinating conjunctions (weil, dass, obwohl, wenn, da) and remember that they move the conjugated verb to the end of the clause.
2Review the cases governed by prepositions: accusative (durch, für, gegen, ohne, um), dative (aus, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, zu), and two-way prepositions (an, auf, hinter, in, neben, über, unter, vor, zwischen).
3Familiarize yourself with key historical events like the Fall of the Berlin Wall (9. November 1989) and German Reunification (3. Oktober 1990).
4Practice recognizing Konjunktiv II forms (wäre, hätte, würde + Infinitiv) used for hypothetical scenarios and polite requests.
