 PREFACE 
 
 THE great revolution, which, since the last twenty years, 
 has taken place in the system of teaching modern languages, has 
 produced a number of works which differ entirely from those 
 formerly in use. Among these, Ahn's method has enjoyed per- 
 haps the greatest share of favor in Europe, and also in America 
 the republication of Ahn's Grammar has been well received. 
 
 However, although every teacher, who has used this work, 
 admits its practical usefulness, there are not a few, who com- 
 plain of the insufficiency of the exercises on certain subjects, 
 as also of the reading lessons. To remedy this defect, I have 
 undertaken to republish this work. 
 
 Considerable alterations have been made in the grammatical 
 part, but the first or practical part has been entirely remodel- 
 led, the length of the lessons has been increased, ,and a much 
 larger vocabulary introduced, whilst new : and I believe, more 
 appropriate reading lessons have been selected. 
 
 Professor Oehlschlager's system of pronunciation, pifblished 
 in his dictionaries and other elementary works on languages, 
 has now stood a test of upwards of twelve years, during which 
 period, nothing has been published that surpasses his system of* 
 indicating the sounds of one language by the signs and charac-. 
 ters of another in accuracy and facility of application. Tens 
 of thousands of these works have been sold here and in Europe 
 and the demand is still unabated.

 The pupil, who cannot procure a teacher of the German 
 language, may with confidence follow the accurate instruction, 
 as well as the interlineal pronunciation, laid down in the work, 
 and he may rest assured that his German will be understood 
 wherever he goes nay, will be superior to that which many 
 students obtain from incompetent or careless teachers. 
 
 In the first or practical part a number of references to the 
 second or gramniatical part has been introduced, which will 
 enable the student to obtain a more general view of any par- 
 ticular subject treated in the first part. 
 
 Another new feature of this publication is the introduction 
 of German writing, as well ^ in the exercises as in the reader. 
 Many persons who read a german author with ease, are obliged 
 to employ somebody to read their letters to them, because they 
 are unacquainted with German writing. The introduction of 
 whole pieces, printed in written characters, will certainly ob- 
 viate this difficulty. This addition has been made at consider- 
 able cost, but I am certain, that the advantages resulting from 
 it, will amply repay the outlay. 
 
 Everything that could be done, to make this a complete 
 text-book for the acquirement of the German language has 
 been done, and I am confident that a discriminating public 
 will not long withhold their approbation.

 II. Pronunciation of the Letters. 
 
 I. THE SIMPLE TOWELS. 
 
 a, when long sounds like a in father, car ; when short, like a in ca/r t 
 or in castle, as pronounced in England. This letter when long is 
 represented by a or a' and when short by a. 
 
 ' 
 
 S3aben,f ba-den;t S3ab, bi'd ; $af, shft'f; 
 
 $afce, kat'-sai; matt, mat; on, an. 
 
 (5, c, when long and close like ey in obey ; when long and open like ai in 
 hair ; when short like e in hen, ell, error. This letter when long and 
 close is represented by ey, when long and open by ai and when short 
 by ai. '"'.' ''" 
 
 Sefyre, ley'-rai ; meljr, meyrr ; 2JIeer, mairr ; 
 
 (Snbe, en'-dal; beg, dess ; @teUe, stel'-lai. 
 
 * The sounds of 3 and fi do not exist in the English language, the manner of forming them, will 
 be found P. 78. 
 
 t The sounds of the words in the first lines of the examples are long, in the second lines, they are 
 bhort. 
 
 t See explanation of the signs used in the pronunciation P. 83.
 
 3, i, when long, like e in me or ee in meet, when short like i in ill, in, if. 
 This letter when long is represented by e or ee, when short by e. 
 3get, ee'-ghel ; tljn, een ; iljr, eerr ; 
 
 in, in; toinben, vin'-den; tmn, irr'-en. 
 
 D, 0, when long like o in pope, so, no, when short, it must not resemble 
 the English aw sound, and in pronouncing i, the aperture between 
 the lips must be much smaller than in pronouncing the English word 
 odd. The long sound is indicated by o or o', the short sound by o. 
 
 @o, zo; SBoben, bo-den; Sotlj, lo't; 
 
 cb, QP; SDotmer, don'-ner; toll, tol. 
 
 It, ll, when longf like oo in fool, when short like oo in foot or u in put, 
 pulpit, never like u in tub. The long sound is indicated by oo or oo', 
 the short sound by 65. 
 
 Ufer, oo'-fer; Sltgenb, too'-ghent; Ityr, oo'rr; 
 
 unb, oont; Ulme, 661'-mai; fyurttg, hoorr-tidji. 
 
 3le, ft, when long like ai in pair, when short like the German e or like e 
 in hen, ell, error. The long sound of this letter is indicated by ai 
 and the short by e. 
 
 Slefyre, ai'-rai ; chafer, shai'-fer ; fdjaten, shai'-len ; 
 
 Slettern, el'-tern; $alber, kel'-ber; jarben, ferr'-ben. 
 
 )e, o t the sound >f this letter is not to be found in the English language, 
 it resembles somewhat the u in fur. To form it, the pulpil should 
 ' first pronounce a very long o this will indicate the position of the or- 
 .gans and then, without altering this position, try to pronounce the Ger- 
 man e (ey in obey). This will produce the long sound. To produce the 
 short sound place the organs in the same position .and try to pro- 
 nounce, ep, et, ef, eck, el, em, en, err, ess. The long sound of this 
 letter is indicated by 6 or 6', -the short by 6. 
 
 Del. 6'1; $B$Ie, bo'-lai; efyBr, gai'-ho'rr; 
 
 otte, hol'-lai; getoounc, gai'-von'-nai ; 2H8rber, morr'-der. 
 
 lie, it, has no correspondent sound in English. Sound a very long oo as 
 in the word ooze, and without changing this position, try and pronounce 
 the long e in meet, and you will produce the long sound of this letter, 
 which is the same as the French u. To obtain the short sound, pro- 
 nounce the syllableSj ip, it, if, ick, il, im, in, irr, iss, preserving all the 
 time, the above position. The long sound is indicated by ii or vi', 
 the short by u. 
 
 Uebeit, ii'-ben ; itte, gii'-tai; Sljiir, tii'rr ; ' 
 
 $ii{fe, kus'-sai ; ^ilmmet, kum'-mel ; 23iirfte, burr*-stai. 
 
 3), ty, does not differ from the German i, which is now generally used in 
 its place. 
 
 II. THE DIPHTHONGS. 
 
 Sill, is pronounced like ou in house or ow in Jiow ; we indicate its sound 
 by ou. 
 
 2luf, ouf; iu8, houss; Sailer, bou'-er.
 
 7 ' 
 
 Sleit, ait, and eu, like oi in oil, in some parts of Germany a slight difference- 
 is made in these sounds, the cm being pronounced a little broader, in 
 others none is made. 
 
 (Sute, oi'-lai ; aitfer, hoi'-zer ; teuer, stoi'-er. 
 
 2li, like a very long i or like the a in father joined to ee in meet. 
 
 Soufer, ki'-zer; 2ttd)en, i'-chen; aite, zi'-tai. 
 
 (St, like i, in like, not quitfe so long as the foregoing. 
 
 (Sile, i'-lai; ette, zi'-tai; etl, zile. 
 
 Ut, ut, like oo'ee or we indicated by oo'ee. 
 
 III. THE PROLONGED VOWELS. 
 
 There are three ways in German by which a vowel is made long. The 
 first is by* doubling the vowel, as: Slat, eete, 33oot, this only occurs with 
 a, e and o, they are 'pronounced as a, e and o, when long; that is a'l, 
 zey'lai, bo't. 
 
 The cecond is by placing an h before or after the vowel, which letter 
 in this situation has no sound ; this occurs with all the vowels except 
 with ty. .. V ,- 
 
 Sfyat, ta't; fo$I, ka'l; 2fte$t, mail ; ttytt, een ; ofrl, none; 
 Ufyr, oo'rr ; Xfyiir, tii'rr ; efyor, gai-ho'rr'. 
 
 The third is by placing e after i j as : btenett, dee'-nen ; liefcen, lee'-ben ; 
 zeep. 
 
 IV. THE CONSONANTS. 
 
 The letters $, f, $, f, %, \, 2ft, nt, 5ft, n, ty, $ and X, r, are pro- 
 nounced the same as in English. 
 
 33, b, at the beginning of a syllable S3 is pronounced the same as in English, 
 at the end like p. 
 
 SBetf, bile; 2o6, lope; SBtdB, Wipe. 
 
 Gi, c, before a, e, t and o like German 3 or ts. It only occurs in foreign 
 words, many of which are also spelled with 3. 
 Stfterne, tse-sterr'-nai ; SircilS, tsirr'-kooss. 
 
 Before any other letter, after a vowel when no e follows, and at 
 the end of a syllable, it sounds like k, which, in most cases, may be 
 used in its place. 
 
 (SaMe, ka-ba'-lai ; (Staler, kla-veer' ; act, tackt. 
 
 3), b, at the beginning of a syllable like d in English, at the end like t. 
 >etrt, dine; 3?ab, ra't; 9htber, roo'-der. 
 
 @, g, at the beginning of a syllable like g in gale, get, gUls, (of a fish), god t 
 t,gutt, growl, also after an n. 
 
 arten, garr-ten; @elb, gelt; gift, geep; 
 
 ott, got; gut, goo't; raben, gra'-ben; 
 
 2)ing,* ding ;* Jang, zang ; attung, gat'-toong. 
 
 * The majority of Germans Wonounce the 9 after the n like k, however the pronunciation like 
 g is preferable.
 
 After a vowel it has the sound of the German d), which see under 
 compound consonants, but it generally leaves the preceding vowel 
 long. 
 
 Sag, la'$; fagte, za'ty-tai ; SBetrug, bai-troo'$'. 
 
 $, $, like English h in house, when at the beginning of a syllable, when 
 after a vowel, after a t or at the end of a syllable, it has no sound but 
 Only lengthens the sound of the vowel. Between two vowels the 
 aspiration is very slight. 
 
 eiilen, hoi-len ; ammer, ham'-mer ; 
 
 te&en, stey'-(h)en; fafyen, za'-(h)en. 
 
 3, j, like y in yes, ye, you. 
 
 3, y&; jeber, yey'der, 3ube, yoo'-dai., 
 
 Q, q, is only used before u and sounds as in the English wofds, quail, 
 quaff, quill. 
 
 Oliarj, quarts ; Ouette, quel'-lai ; qiter, quairr. 
 
 9?, r, almost like rr in English, it should be pronounced distinctly with- 
 out being made guttural. In English the sounds of the vowels be- 
 fore this letter, when single, change; in fact all the vowels except the 
 .a, have the sound of u in fur ; thus her sounds as if written hur, fir 
 as if written fur, world as if written wurld and myrrh as if written 
 mur. In German these vowels sound the same as they would before 
 4 that is as e in error, i in irritate, almost as o in horror. 
 
 SRetten, ri'-ten ; Iperj, herrts ; Srrtfyintt, irr'-toom ; 
 
 crbnen, orrd'-nen; Ume, 66rr'-nai; arm, arm. 
 
 , f, 0, at the beginning of a syllable like z, at the end like ss. 
 
 @eU, zile; faufen, sou'-zen, ba, dass. 
 
 33, to, this letter has the same sound as f in all German words, in foreign 
 words it is mostly pronounced like v. 
 
 SJiel, feel; 25ertef?r, fer-keyrr 7 ; tott, foil; 
 
 SSiftte, ve-ze'-tai; SSiftr, ve-zeer'; SSaje, va'-zai. 
 
 203, to, like English v, the teeth should, not be pressed quite so hard on 
 the lower lip. 
 
 SBein, vine; toerbeit, verr'-den; ttoljt, vo'L 
 
 3, 8. like ts. 
 
 3elt, tselt; SauBer, tsou'ber; @d}erg, slierrts. 
 
 V. TH^ COMPOUND CONSONANTS. 
 
 The compound consonants are named as the simple ones dj is called 
 
 tsey h, cf, tsey H, &c. 
 
 6^, d), there is no corresponding sound in the English language ; it is* the 
 Scotch ch in the word loch, lake, and the Spanish _/ in the word Mejico 
 (Mexico). The sound lies between g hard and k. In pronouncing 
 the syllable ig, the breath is drawn in, in pronouncing ick, it is for- 
 cibly and suddenly expelled, but in pronouncing id), it is expelled
 
 9 
 
 softly and gradually, the breath passing between the palate and the 
 tongue. The vowel a, e, i and o are always short before the d), u is 
 sometimes long and sometimes short; to indicate this sound we have 
 used the German character d). 
 
 In French words the $ has the sound of English sh. In words 
 from other languages it has sometimes the sound of k. 
 
 33ad?, bad); Sod), lod); @efi$t, gai-zidJt'; 
 
 33ud), boc'd); efild), gai-zoo'd?' ; ' burdi, doorrd; ; 
 
 (Sbotfe, shai'-zai ; Sfjicane, she-ka'-nai ; ($ar}rie, sharr-pee' : 
 
 CJO, kore; Cfrift, krist ; gbur, koo'rr ; 
 
 ebtna, dJee'-na; 0emte, d?ai-mee'. 
 
 fyS, d)$, like a;' or ek. When the 8 is the possessive case of a word ter- 
 minating in d), the d) retains its guttural sound. 
 
 Sa<$8 f iaks ; . Oc^fe, ock'sai; 2t^c, ack'-sai. 
 
 f, d, like ck 
 d), fd), like *A. 
 
 , shoi; fd^auen, shou'-en; rajc rash. 
 
 @t, fi, and ^ fp, as st and sp in English. In the South of Germany 
 these are generally pronounced as if written sht and shp. The 
 student who speaks English, will do better to adopt the former pro- 
 nunciation. 
 
 ft ff, has the sound of ss in English ; it only occurs in the middle of 
 words, when one of the letters is pronounced with each syllable 
 making the vowel in the first syllable short. 
 
 SRaffe, mass'-sai; ?Weffc, mess'-sai; foffen, lass'-sen. 
 
 has the sound of ss in English ; it stands at the end of syllables and 
 in the middle of words ; when in the middle of words it communicates 
 no sound to the first of the two syllables, between which it occurs, 
 when at the end, it makes the syllable short. 
 
 SKafjett, ma'-ssen; trafce, stra'-ssai; bag, dass. 
 
 ff, ff, the same as f. 
 pty, ph, the same as f. 
 
 ?&Uofol>$, fe-lo-zo'f ; $$aittom, faq-toW. 
 
 tf, pf,_ pronounce both letters rapidly one after the other without any 
 hiatus. By pronouncing the words up 'for rapidly and frequently 
 the sound will soon be acquired. 
 
 $Pferb, p'faird; ^feil, p'file; pfennig, p'fen'-nid). 
 
 tj, like ts the same as 3. 
 
 $ra|j, plats, %n, et'-sen; e feert, het'-sen.
 
 10 
 
 SYLLABIC ACCENT. 
 
 The accent is on the root of the word. 
 
 ett'*ung, fen'*ben, @ang'*er, gu'*ten. 
 
 Exceptions: 1. Many words introduced from foreign languages, as. 
 
 2. German words w^th foreign terminations, as : Sfto^rafV, 
 
 3. The words : Ie=fcen'*btg, Slnt'sftort, 2lntMt, and their derivatives. 
 
 4. Words ending in et, as : ^tr^be^m', 23et=te4et'. 
 
 5. Compound verbs which have separable prefixes, have the primary 
 accent on the prefix, as : 3u"=fcfyrei / *Bett, fcet"=fit'=gett. 
 
 In compound words, the accented syllable of the qualifying word has 
 generally the primary and that of the qualified word, the secondary ac- 
 cent, the former we indicate by " and the latter by '. In the word 
 23Iumengarten, flowergarden, SBlitmen is the qualifying word, therefore 33Iu 
 has the primary accent and gar, the accented syllable of the qualified 
 word, the secondary accent, 23tir"snten*gar / 4en. 
 
 DIVISION OF SYLLABLES IN SPEAKING. 
 
 1. When a single consonant occurs between two vowels, the consonant 
 belongs to the second syllable, independent of the derivation of the word, 
 as : guMo, not gut'*e, altho' the word is derived from gut. Set'sben, 
 fdjvet'sfcen, $reu'*be. 
 
 2. When two consonants are in the middle of a word, they not being 
 one of the compound consonants, mentioned P. 8, the first goes with the 
 preceding, and the second with the following syllable, as; (r'*6en, $d'*fen, 
 freunb'4tcfy, ar'*fce, 28e8'^e. 
 
 3. CHJ, (f and fd), when these make the foregoing letter short, they 
 communicate their sound to both syllables, when they stand between two 
 vowels, as : ladjen, pronounce lacfy'-cfyen ; fpredfyen, spre^-c^en ; toafd)en, 
 vash'-shen ; riicfett, ruck'-ken. When preceded by a vowel and followed 
 by a consonant they, of course, belong to the first syllable, as : 
 
 toadjfcmt, vatfy'-sam ; rMltngS, riick^lingss. 
 
 4. ff, g, see these letters under the pronunciation of double consonants. 
 
 5. In compound words, the component parts are pronounced separately, 
 as: ^tenapfel, keen'^ap'-fel ; composed of $ten and apfel; ^eunaiige, 
 noin^-ou'gai, of yjettn and attge. Prefixes also retain their sound and 
 do not combine with the following consonant or vowel, as: fceffretten, 
 bai-stri'-ten ; befreten, bai-fri'en; geftafett, gai-bla'-zen; getrrf, gai-irrt'; 
 fceiirfunben, bai-oor'-koon-den ; erofcern, err-o'-bern..

 EXPLANATION 
 
 OF THE SIGNS USED IN THE PRONOUNCING PART. 
 
 "When a rowel is immediately followed by one or more consonants, the 
 vowel is short, al, el, il, ol, ool are short. 
 
 When an apostrophe is placed after the vowel and a small space left 
 between the consonant and the vowel, the latter is long, as : a ' d, i ' d, 
 o'd, oo 'd are long. 
 
 a represents the sound of the German a. 
 
 ai, the long open sound of e and a, as in air, when this sound is unac- 
 cented, it must Hot be. pronounced strongly or be drawn out long, but is 
 something like the final a in the name Louisa. 
 
 ey, the long close sound of e as in obey. 
 
 oo', represents the sound of the frerman it or ufy, it is the oo in loot, 
 ooze. 
 
 oo, 66, represent the sound of the short it, it is the oo in foot, or the 
 u in put. 
 
 ou 3 always sounds like ou in house. 
 
 ', indicates the accented syllable, that is the syllable on which the 
 stress of the voice is to fall. 
 
 ", compound words have often two accents, a stronger one and a 
 weaker one, the stronger one is called the primary and the weaker one, 
 the secondary accent ; the former is indicated by " and the latter by '. 
 
 0, ii, <fy, as these characters have no corresponding sounds in English, 
 the student is referred for their explanation to the pronunciation of the 
 
 letters. 
 
 Each syllable in the pronouncing part, is pronounced in the same manner 
 as in English. 
 
 gh, represents the hard g, when according to English orthoepy it 
 would be soft, and must always be pronounced as g in get.

 COMPOUND AND DOUBLE CONSONANTS.
 
 DIRECTIONS. 
 
 All sentences, as well as all substantives, and all "words used as substantives, 
 mast begin with a capital letter. 
 
 The second person of the personal pronouns are written with a capital, also 
 the words ie and @r, when used instead of 2>U and Sfa. 
 
 Adjectives derived from proper stbstantives are not written with capitals, 
 except those derived from the names of towns. 
 
 The long f is used at the beginning, the short 8 at the end of a syllable ; the 
 ff when the sharp sound of the s is divided between two syllables, the fj when 
 the sharp s sound goes with the last syllable only. The latter is also used at the 
 end of words or syllables (see p. 9).

 When the principal verb of a conditional sentence is in the 1st conditional or 
 in the imperfect of the subj., the verb exprlssing the condition after toemt, is in 
 the imperfect or pluperfect of the subj. When the principal verb is in the 2d 
 conditional or in the pluperfect of the subj., the dependent verb is in the pluper- 
 fect of the subj. (For the formation of these tenses see 44 and 55.) 
 
 When the dependent verb precedes the principal verb, the nominative of the 
 latter is placed after the vrb and the word jo may be placed before it.

 The cook would roast his meat, if he had .any wood. I should rise im- 
 mediately, if I were not sick. My father would go (travel) to Germany, 
 if he spoke German. I could (imp. subj.) make a watch, if I had time. 
 These ladies could remain here, if they wanted. I should die with grief, 
 if my mother did not love me. If we had a carriage and horses, we 
 should take a drive every day into the country. These young ladies 
 would not know so much, if they had not been in so good a school "(a so 
 good). I should have remained in my room, if the weather had not been 
 so fine. The bride would have gone with us, if she had had her bonnet. 
 If you had put (tf)im) more sugar into the tea, it would have been too 
 sweet. Had the pupils learned their lessons, their teachers would not 
 have punished them ? What army would have conquered the enemy, if 
 ours had not done it. "Would the sailors drink the wine which is on 
 board of their ship, if they were thirsty and had no water ? "Would you 
 not have sent for the physician if your, daughter had become (getoorben 
 tocire) sick ? I should have sent for him. The countess would have died 
 with joy, if she had known that the count was (subj.) safe. The mother 
 would have wept with joy, if she had found her daughter innocent. The 
 soldiers would have set fire to the house, if they had known that the of- 
 ficers of the enemy (feinbltd), adj.^were in it. -If I had meat and vege- 
 tables, I should cook a soup for these wretched women, but I have nothing 
 but a little weak tea and a piece of hard bread, which I give them wil- 
 lingly. If I were not so tired, I should go out and buy a piece of ham. 
 Would not the whole army and the whole country have admired our 
 general, if he had beaten the enemy, that*was much stronger ? This dog 
 would'have died if tl?e neighbor's little girl had not given him some thing 
 to eat* This washer-woman would not have brought back the clothes, if 
 you had not sent for them to-day. The eyes of your pupil (/.) would not 
 be so red, if she had not cried so much. This old shoemaker would not
 
 76 
 
 have so red a nose, if he had not drunk so much brandy. The little bicd 
 would still be alive (live), if these boys had not thrown a stone at it and 
 had killed it. I should come to see you some times, if I knew at what 
 o'clock I should find (subj. imp.) you at home.

 Thou art a good boy, give me thy (the) hand. How old art thou ? 
 How many brothers and sisters hast thou? What is thy -father? Doest 
 thou go to school ? Who teaches thee (ace.) to read ? Who gives thee 
 (dat.) something to eat ? Does thou love thy teacher, thy father and 
 thy mother ? Does not thy teacher praise thee ? Wilt thou not be a 
 great man ? If thou art industrious, thou will become a great and good 
 man, every lady will love thee. Children, if you are good (arttg), I will 
 tell you this evening a very pretty story of a lion and a soldier. You 
 ought to love your fellow men. You have lost a fine opportunity to do 
 something good. Who has shown thee this handsome bird ? The far- 
 mer's son has shown it to me. Who has made you the blue vest which 
 you wear ? My tailor has made it for me. Who has forbidden thee to 
 go out ? Thy father has forbidden thee to depart and has ordered n^y 
 sister (dat.) to remain. Thou wouldst die, if thou atest of this meat. 
 Thou wouldst have lost thy money, if thou hadst gone to America. You 
 would have cried, if you had seen the wretched old people without 
 clothes, without any thing to eat.

 By whom are these children brought (tyolen) from school ? By the ser- 
 vant. Are you loved by your fellow men ? I do nothing (in order) to be 
 hated by them. It is not enough, that you do nothing to be hated by 
 them, you ought to do something to be loved by them. Is the little boy 
 (being) rewarded when he does his work well ? He is rewarded. By 
 whom is he rewarded ? By his teachers. By whom were these houses 
 (being) sold ? They were sold by the <*}d uncle of our mason. Were you 
 not betrayed, when you were in Paris? I was betrayed by the. court. 
 How many soldiers were killed on (an, dat.) that day ? More then three 
 thousand men (Sftamt, sing.) were killed. This watch has been made by 
 me, John Peters. These pupils have been severely punished, because 
 they had not made their exercises and had not learned their lessons. The 
 good children have been rewarded and the bad children have been punished 
 by their father and their mother. Have these potatoes been eaten by you 
 or by the little Dutchman ? I do not know by whom these clothes have 
 been torn. This door will be opened by you every morning and be shut 
 every evening. His punishment will be put off till, the seventeenth of this 
 month. Thou wilt be called immediately by the master. If they had 
 need of the servant, he would be called. I should be admired, if I were 
 as handsome as this young lady. If they lived in the country they would 
 be*admired. If they had been betrayed, they would have been killed by 
 the Germans and Englishmen. 'Could not these Frenchmen be sent out 
 of the town ? They would be sent to France, for they have betrayed the 
 country.

 "Where did you meet (perf. t.) your aunt's friend? I met (perf. t.) her 
 near my father's house. Where did your servants meet the scholars of 
 your teachers ? They met them not far from the school. Not far from 
 this town is a bridge, which leads over the (abet ace.) river. During the 
 winter the rich people (Seute) of this town reside in town and, during the 
 summer they reside in the country or near the sea. Not far from this 
 lake there are high mountains. Did you cross (fafyren iiber, ace.) the lake 
 below or above the bridge? We crossed below the bridge, but the 
 enemy crossed above the same. Does the castle of the king stand on 
 this side or on that side of the river.* It stands on that side. In virtue

 of your orders we have sent all the officers and soldiers to that side of 
 the river. For your sake and for the sake of your amiable sister, I' shall 
 do what you demand of me. For our part you may depart as (fo) soon 
 as you wish. Notwithstanding the orders of the general, the soldiers 
 had left the town during the night, and at five o'clock in the morning 
 were already beyond the forest, near the Hudson river, above the bridge 
 which leads over (iifcer, ace.) this river. He was astonished to see, the 
 soldiers come instead of the farmers. Instead of me, my brother came 
 into the room and gave her the letter of her grand-mother. During the 
 night we drove along the river (ljtn), and during the day we rested not far 
 from a thick forest. Which father will give his son a stone instead of a 
 loaf ? By virtue of the order of the king he loses his life during this 
 night. In consequence of the order of the general he will be shot to (this) 
 night. Have you been able to live in the country during the autumn ? 
 I have not been able to live there during the autumn, but during the 
 spring and (the) summer. During the autumn and (the) winter I have 
 been obliged to live in town, on account of my father, who .was very ill. 
 During the whole afternoon I have neither seen him go out, nor seen him 
 come home. Would you not have assisted me to write (in writing) during 
 the evening, if you had not had too much to do ? This bird sings very 
 beautifully in the spring, have you never heard him sing? Has the 
 teacher heard the children read in spite of the noise which some of them 
 were making ?

 . THE SUB/UNCTIVE MOOD. ($ 47, 60 & 80, 2, and Exerc. 95.) 
 
 After verbs which express, thinking, feeling, wishing and stating, the subjunc- 
 tive mood is used when doubt or uncertainty is implied. After verbs which ex- 
 press stating or asking, the dependent phrase is generally in the present or future 
 tense, no matter whether the principal verb is in the present or in a past tense. 
 The following verbs are some of those which may take the subjunctive mood 
 after them: metnen, to mean, to believe ; glcmben, to believe ; tocrmut^ett, to sup- 
 pose ; jnjeifeln, to doubt ; fdjeineit, to appear ; ^offen, to tope ; fiird)ten, to fear ;
 
 88 
 
 tvoffen, to want, to wish ; Kritten, to request ; fcefefyteit, to command ; bertangett, to 
 demand ; ,ratl)en, to advise ; fagett, to say ; erjafylert, to relate ; ntelbett, mel'-den, 
 to announce ; fragen, to ask.

 (gr fiivd)tet bag ev franf fet. He fears that he is sick. 
 
 The conjunction bag is frequently omitted : 
 
 r fagte er fet Iranf. He said he was sick. 
 
 In this case the verb is not placed at the end. 
 
 The subjunctive mood is also used to express a wish, in form of an interjection ; 
 in the present tense when the fulfilment of the wish is possible or probable, in 
 the past tense, when the wish expresses the contrary of what exists.

 The physiciao told me that I must (pres.) remain in (the) bed. He men-

 your son will have arrived 'when you arrive at home (31: >aitfe). I feared 
 that 'he was sick and could not come. Did you not fear that he bad lost 
 his property ? I demanded that he should go home (pres.) immediately, 
 and bring (Ijolen) his father here. It is not good for man to be alone (that 
 man be alone). He informed us that his father and* mother had died 
 (perf.) at six. The farmer said he came (pres.) from his youngest son, the 
 lawyer, who, as the physician thought, was (pres.) very sick. I feared his 
 arm would pain him (fut.). May he return (subj. pres.) safely ( 
 May God reward you for what (that which) you have done for
 
 Whatever it may be (subj. of fetn), tell it me. Whatever he may have 
 done, he will not be punished. Whoever he may be, (fo...bod)) he must 
 still obey. However small she may be, (fo...bod)J she can work well. 
 Let him depart early, so (auf) that he may not arrive too late. If we had 
 had time, we should have stopped a week longer in London. I gave him 
 the money that he might buy something to eat for himself.

 Adjectives are used adverbally without undergoing any change ( 77). 
 
 The superlative of comparison is generally formed by placing the preposition 
 on, with the definite article contracted, before it : 
 
 d)on, beautifully ; fd)i>iter, more beautifully ; am fdjonjktt, most beautifully ; 
 Out, well ; beffer, better ; am befktt, best. " t 
 
 When the superlative expresses the highest degree without forming a compari- 
 son, the preposition auf with the def. art. contracted, is placed before the adverb, 
 auf 8 fd)onfte, in the most beautiful manner ; or it stands without any preposition ; 
 as: fyodjjt, in the highest degree; etttgft, with the utmost haste ; gefyorfamfr, most 
 obediently, or it takes the termination en ; as: jd)6nfteit8, in the most beautiful 
 manner ; beftenS, in the best manner ; nad)flen, very soon. 
 
 When adjectives are undeclinable, that is, when they stand after the verb, and 
 express the highest degree without a comparison, their superlatives should have 
 am before them.

 "When I have money I go to the theatre. When these geese see water, 
 so) they want to drink. What do you do, when you are sick ? I send 
 !br a physician. When it rains the street gets dirty. When (whenever) 
 the Romans conquered a nation, (so) they made them (to) citizens. When 
 the Romans conquered the Germans, (so) they found that they were quite 
 savage (ttnlb). When I was in London, the king was not ( 89, 2.) there. 
 When the moon rose, we saw that we were near the town. Where did you 
 find yourself, when the sun rose. We found ourselves on the ice, not far 
 from a bridge, which leads over the river. Being (as he is) sick, he must 
 not go out. Being poor she cannot keep a servant. As it was raining I 
 would not go out. Why can the baker bake no bread B ecause he has
 
 > 92 
 
 no flour. Why do you not put your coat on ? Because it is at the tailor's. 
 Why do you not come up ? Because I have a sore leg. Why docs this 
 diild not open its (his) eyes ? Because it has sore eyes. This cow cannot 
 bo hungry, for I have fed her. Can this child be thirsty ? It cannot be 
 thirsty, for I have just given it something to drink. You cannot have 
 seen Mr. Town to-day, for he has been dead these ([d)on) six weeks. 
 Come, the sooner the better. Remain with us, the longer the better. 
 Give these people something to eat, the sooner the better. The older she 
 gets, the more Stupid she gets. This wine tastes, the older the better. 
 The longer we are here, the later we shall be there. The richer these 
 people grow, -the more money they will want. The sooner (efier) you 
 leave Paris, the better it will be for you. The more wood this ca'binet- 
 maker can buy, the more chairs and tables will he make. The more oxen 
 this butcher kills, the more meat he will have to sell. The more you 
 study, the sooner you will succeed in learning (Inf. with ju) German. 
 The older the young lady gets the more beautiful and the more amiable 
 she grows. The more these people drink, the more thirsty they become. 
 What do you think of these two young ladies? I think that they are as 
 good as amiable. Are they not as beautiful as amiable ? Is the weather as 
 fine in the month of October as in the month of May ? It is finer in the 
 month of October, than in the month of May. Are these flowers as dear 
 as those ? They are dearer than those. Is your room as light as mine ? 
 It is neither as light as yours, nor as light as that; of your brother, but it 
 is lighter than that of my daughter, whose room is the darkest in the 
 whole (gcmj) house.

 Do you still remember the beautiful days we spent (toerlefcen) in Ger- 
 many ? I remember them very well. Do not boast of your beauty, it 
 soon fades (toerge^ en). The king has discharged many of his officers. If 
 you will not take pity upon my poor children after my death, what will 
 become of them ? The French took possession of all. the money that 
 was in the town, and then set fire to it. Why will you not make use 
 of the money, which I offer (anbteten) you (dat.), I know that you are in 
 want of it. This man is ashamed of his native land. Are you not 
 ashamed of this deed ? I am not ashamed of it, I boast of it, as of a 
 good deed. I am ashamed of them, they look like beggars. Sir, allow 
 me to assure you of my friendship and of my esteem. Let us make sure 
 of (take) these thitfves, or they will rob (fceraitfcen) somebody. "Do you 
 require me ? I do not want you, but I want your sister, please, tell her 
 to come to me. Do you still think of the many opportunities, (which) 
 you had to learn something. We still remember the many days (which) 
 we were together in prison. How (is) did she die (died) ? She died of 
 (the) small pox. What (tooran) did these pretty children die of? They 
 died of the measles. What death, do you think that you will die ? 'I 
 know that I shall die of consumption, my father, my uncle, my mother 
 and my aunt, all died of this disease. It must be drea drul (f d)re(flidj) to 
 die of hunger.

 The present participle of the German verb is seldom used in prose, the com- 
 pound participle (having loved) never. When the former occurs, it should be 
 paraphrased by the pres. or imperf. tense and such a conjunction as best ex- 
 presses the idea : " Finding that he (can) could not open the door, he (calls) called 
 the servant," may be paraphrased by: when (al) he found; whenever (toerm) he 
 (finds) found ; whilst (inbem) he found ; as, since, (ba) he (finds) found ; because 
 (Weil) he finds (found). 
 
 The compound participle must be paraphrased by the perfect or pluperfect tense 
 and a conjunction ; as, having found the door open, may be paraphrased, when (al) 
 he (has) had found, whenever (roenn) he (has) had found, after (nad)bem) he had 
 found ; as, since (ba) he (has) had found ; because (tt>eU) he (has) had found.

 Charles seeing his sisters weep, feared that they had met with some mis- 
 fortune* (a misfortune had met them). The calf being stolen, they shut the 
 door-. The ladies seeing that there were no chairs, sat down on the benches. 
 Ascending the mountain, he inhaled the fresh air. Being obliged to leave 
 my trunk here, I shall send for it to-morrow. Not requiring any money this 
 evening, I shall leave my purse with you. He being my brother) I shall 
 not strike him. These customers having no money, I cannot sell them any 
 goods. These children having no books, I could not teach them. ' These 
 clothes being wet, I cannot put them on. My father being sick, he cannot 
 go to church to-day. The ship having arrived (ange!ommen h)ar), we went 
 to see it. The soldiers having died, we buried them in the field. After 
 having sent the servant, he went himself. Having slept enough, they got 
 up and went to (the) work. Having flattered themselves for years, that 
 they knew (frhtnen) French, they find n6w that they understand nothing 
 of it. Having put his stockings on, he put on his shoes. Having seen 
 the sun rise, we returned to the village. Having said these words, he 
 died.* After having written these letters, you most copy them, and after 
 having copied them, you must take them to the post office. It having 
 struck twelve, we shall go home. Having cried long enough, he stopped. 
 Having broken the bread, he gave it his disciples. Having distinguished 
 the light, we went to bed and fell asleep. Having risen, these children 
 washed and dressed themselves.

 Sir, do you not think, that it is dangerous 
 to go so fast ? 
 
 Excuse me Mam., we only go now 25 
 miles an hour, I have often gone 40 
 miles, without the slightest accident. 
 
 Oh ! I cannot help it, but I am afraid, 
 it is the first time that I travel on a 
 railroad. 
 
 Fear nothing Mam., since the last acci- 
 dent, they have appointed very trust- 
 worthy people; and they take every 
 precaution, to avoid accidents. 
 
 I see this is only a single track. 
 
 Yes Mam., we shall stop immediately, to 
 
 let the train, which comes this way, 
 
 pass. 
 
 Here comes the train, oh how is rushes. 
 Is there no tunnel on this road ? 
 No Mam., but we shall pass a bridge, 
 
 which is almost as dark as a tunuel. 
 
 When shall we arrive 1 
 
 We shall be at the depot at six o'clock. 
 
 We now approach the town, this is the 
 last station. 
 
 How do I get my baggage ? 
 
 If you will give your checks to one of 
 the porters, they will send your bag- 
 gage to your house or to your hotel. 
 
 On board of a steamboat between New York 
 and Fall 'River. 
 
 When does the steamboat leave 1 
 
 Shp leaves at five o'clock, Gentlemen, 
 
 you have no time to lose. 
 Give us our tickets, we shall go on 
 
 board immediately, our baggage is 
 
 already here. 
 
 This is a very handsome boat. 
 It is strongly built and is very elegantly 
 
 furnished. 
 
 Do they serve supper on board 7 
 Yes Sir, supper is served at seven 
 
 o'clock. 
 
 And when do we arrive in Fall River ? 
 To morrow morning at five o'clock. ' 
 Do you know how soon a train goes 
 
 from there to Boston ? 
 The first train starts at 6 o'clock, the 
 
 next at 8 o'clock. 
 There the bell is ringing for the last 
 
 time.

 Now they are pulling in the gang-boards 
 and closing the safety-valve. We are 
 off. 
 
 Shall we not go below and look at our 
 berths ? 
 
 With pleasure, what number have you ? 
 
 I have number 97. 
 
 And I number 95. 
 
 Then we are one over the other. 
 
 I find that the boat rolls considerably. 
 
 That is not as disagreeable as when it 
 
 pitches. 
 
 I commence already to feel indisposed. 
 Come on deck, in the fresh air you will 
 
 feel more comfortable. 
 
 I will try it,- but I fear, I shall suffer 
 from- sea-sickness. 
 
 I am never sea-sick, but it must be 
 very disagreeable. 
 
 Is there no remedy for this sickness. 
 
 Oh, yes, a great many but they do not 
 cure it. 
 
 That is bad, then I shall never be able 
 to make a long sea-voyage. 
 
 Oh, you may ! . with most persons sea- 
 sickness is only a temporary evil. 
 
 Why are children exposed to sea-sick- 
 ness less and for a shorter time, than 
 grown persons 1 
 
 Because children, nothwithstanding th? 
 sickness, will take food ; if grown per- 
 sons would follow this, example, as 
 soon as they feel 'their stomach empty, 
 they would soon be better. 
 
 I shall remember this. 
 
 It is true, it requires a little courage. 
 
 I think we shall have a stormy night, 
 the wind is increasing, 
 
 Ha've you ever seen the phosphorescent 
 light at sea? 
 
 I have often heard of it, but I have 
 never seen it. 
 
 Let us go to the stern of the vessel. 
 Look, the wake shines like molden gold. 
 
 That is a splendid sight. 
 
 But it is growing very cool now, and 
 
 we shall do well to go to bed. 
 A pleasant night to you, Sir, and do 
 
 not get sea-sick. 
 I thank you very much, I should be 
 
 sorry* to disturb you.
