Material Detail

This resource uses the music of the punk band Die Ärzte in the lesson.

Whenever we want to tell someone else to do something, we use what is called the Imperative, which is often also referred to as the Command form. In this song you heard a number of different imperatives, such as “Mach die Augen zu” and “Küss mich“ as the singer tells another person “Close your eyes” and “Kiss me”.

Because the imperative occurs so often in this song, it is imperative that we learn how to recognize and produce this form in order to understand what Die Ärzte are singing to us. Watch this short video and learn how to do just that!
