Southern California’s climate has often been described as “perfect” and with good reason. Most days are sunny and warm, with gentle ocean breezes in the summer. The humidity is low with little rain. In fact, there are no unpleasant seasons in Los Angeles.

Annual precipitation: 15 inches

Average high temperature: 74° F

Avg. sunny/partly sunny days: 292 days

Average low temperature: 56° F

Daniel Fahrenheit was the German physicist who invented the alcohol thermometer in 1709 and the mercury thermometer in 1714. In a mercury or alcohol thermometer, the liquid expands as it is heated and contracts when it is cooled, so the length of the liquid column is longer or shorter depending on the temperature.

In 1724, he introduced the standard temperature scale that bears his name—Fahrenheit scale—that was used to record changes in temperature in an accurate fashion. Fahrenheit based his temperature scale on the temperature of the human body which he put on 100 degrees. Zero degrees was based on the temperature of an equal mixture of water, ice, and salt.

In 1742, the Celsius scale was invented by Swedish Astronomer Anders Celsius. The Celsius temperature scale is also referred to as the "centigrade" scale. Centigrade means "divided into 100 degrees." The Celsius scale has 100 degrees between the freezing point (0 degrees) and boiling point (100 degrees) of pure water at sea level air pressure.

Die Verwendung von [[Present_Simple|simple present]] im Bedingungssatz scheint einfach, bietet wie in den oberen Beispielen jedoch die Tücke der [[Present_Simple#3._Person_Einzahl|3. Person Singular]] mit dem angehängten -s.

If-sentences/Typ 3

2026-04-21T16:43:47Z

Matthias Scharwies:

Der Typ III ([[If-sentences|If-Satz]] der Vergangenheit, ''irrealis der Vergangenheit'') berichtet über etwas bisher Geschehenes und ist leichter zu identifizieren. Allerdings bestehen seine Bestandteile aus vielen Hilfsverben, die anfangs eher Angst machen.

Beispiele:

If I <span style="display: inline-block;background:#990;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 7em;">had known</span> that, I <span style="display: inline-block;background:purple;color:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 10em;"> would have stayed</span> at home.

I <span style="display: inline-block;background:purple;color:pink;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 13em;">wouldn't have got(ten)</span> wet if it <span style="display: inline-block;background:#990;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 8em;">hadn't rained</span>.

If-sentences

2026-04-21T16:43:21Z

Matthias Scharwies:

Konditional- oder Bedingungssätze ('''''If-Sentences''''') sind Adverbialsätze, in denen eine Voraussetzung für die Geltung des Hauptsatzes formuliert wird.

Die If-Sätze [[If-sentences/Typ_1|Typ I]] und [[If-sentences/Typ 2|Typ II]] lassen sich nicht eindeutig unterscheiden, da man einerseits fest mit einem (doch eher unwahrscheinlichen) Lottogewinn rechnet, andererseits Regen und schlechtes Wetter nicht 100% voraus berechnen kann.

Der [[If-sentences/Typ 3|Typ III]] (If-Satz der Vergangenheit) berichtet über etwas bisher Geschehenes und ist so leichter zu identifizieren.

{{Achtung|If-Sätze bilden ein festes Schema, das nicht abgeändert werden kann. Sie haben nichts mit den Signalwörtern und der [[Tenses|Zeitleiste]] zu tun.

Der Hauptsatz kann auch vorne stehen. Dann wird kein Komma gesetzt.

[[File:Harlech Castle with Snowdon.jpg|300px]]

== MERLIN'S CAVE ==
<div class="grid">
<div class="width-1-2">
Last year Sarah’s and Alan's family spent their summer holiday again in Wales. They were staying at a youth hostel in Snowdon in the north of Wales. One day the two children decided to visit the very interesting Merlin's Cave. They walked through the village, went down a small path and left the busy village behind them.

"It’s so exciting here. This wild and dangerous coast was a great place for Merlin the Magician hundreds of years ago," said Alan.

They left the path and went down a lot of steps to a big cave. It was like a tunnel, and very dark, with stones and rocks. When they left the cave on the other side they were in a different world, with a beautiful, small beach. There were no other tourists here because the sea was already near the coast. On one side of the beach there were tall cliffs, on the other there was only the wild sea.

"Razorbills love cliffs". said Alan. "We can climb up here to watch them."
</div>
<div class="width-1-2">
"Okay, but we haven’t got a lot of time. The sea is coming in." They climbed over some rocks and waited. Then they saw the razorbills. The birds caught fish in the sea and carried them back to the young birds on the cliff. It was fun to watch because the birds and the sea were so near. "The sea isn't far from the cave. We really have to be quick", Alan said.

They began to climb over the rocks and back to the cave, but then Alan fell. "Ouch," he shouted. "It's my leg. I can't stand on it." Sarah tried to help him, but it wasn't easy to get to Merlin’s Cave. In the cave, with all its rocks and stones, it was even more difficult for them. They needed help. Alan sat on a rock in the cave. "Go and get somebody, Sarah. Please be quick", he said. "The sea is very near now."

"Don’t worry", said Sarah, "I can find help at the youth hostel." Sarah ran up the path and back to the youth hostel. There she came across the other teenagers who helped her to fetch Alan. When Alan was safe he told Sarah: "I've never been in such a dangerous situation before. Thank you for your help."

Past Perfect

2025-10-22T08:21:43Z

Matthias Scharwies: /* Interaktive Übungen */

Genau wie im Deutschen kann man im [[Englisch]]en beschreiben, wenn etwas vorher stattgefunden hat. Wenn eine Handlung in der Vergangenheit stattfand, etwas anderes aber schon vorher passiert ist, wird dies im '''Past Perfect''' ausgedrückt.
Dabei wird es nur selten alleine verwendet, meist bezieht es sich auf eine Handlung im [[Past Simple]], der eine andere dazu gehörende Handlung vorangeht.

[[Datei:Past Perfect.svg|Infografik: Past Perfect]]

== Bildung ==
Im Past Perfect besteht das Verb aus zwei Bestandteilen:

Zuerst kommt die Vergangenheitsform des Hilfsverbs "have", danach das ''past participle'' (die 3.Form) des Hauptverbs.

<span style="display: inline-block;font-size:2em;background:white;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 1em;">I</span>   <span style="display: inline-block;font-size:2em;background:yellow;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 10em;"> <span style="display:inline-block;border-right: 1px dashed black;padding-right: 1em;text-align: center;width:min-content;">had</span><span style="display:inline-block;text-align: center;width:min-content;padding-left:1em;">lived</span></span> <span style="display: inline-block;font-size:2em;background:white;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align:center;width:18em;"> in Hamburg before I came here.</span>

=== Verlaufsform ===
Neben dem '''''Past Perfect Simple''''' gibt es auch noch eine Verlaufsform, das '''''Past Perfect Progressive'''''. Sie wird verwendet, wenn nicht nur die Tatsache, dass eine Handlung ausgeführt wurde, sondern die Handlung selbst, bzw. die Dauer im Vordergrund stehen.

: ''I '''had been living''' there for ages.
: ''After I '''had been doing''' my homework for hours I was really tired.''

<span style="display: inline-block;font-size:2em;background:white;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 1em;">I</span>   <span style="display: inline-block;font-size:2em;background:yellow;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align: center;width: 10em;"> <span style="display:inline-block;border-right: 1px dashed black;padding-right: 1em;text-align: center;width:min-content;">had</span><span style="display:inline-block;text-align: center;width:min-content;padding-left:1em;">lived</span></span> <span style="display: inline-block;font-size:2em;background:white;padding:0.2em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;text-align:center;width:18em;"> in Hamburg before I came here.</span>

=== Verlaufsform ===
Neben dem '''''Past Perfect Simple''''' gibt es auch noch eine Verlaufsform, das '''''Past Perfect Progressive'''''. Sie wird verwendet, wenn nicht nur die Tatsache, dass eine Handlung ausgeführt wurde, sondern die Handlung selbst, bzw. die Dauer im Vordergrund stehen.

: ''I '''had been living''' there for ages.
: ''After I '''had been doing''' my homework for hours I was really tired.''

Relative pronouns

2025-10-22T04:46:31Z

Matthias Scharwies: akt

Wenn Du etwas näher erklären willst, kannst du einen Relativsatz verwenden. Er wird innerhalb des Satzes eingeschoben und durch ein Relativpronomen ('''''Relative Pronoun''''') eingeleitet:

: <span style="background:#fff19d;font-style:italic">Nessie lives in Loch Ness.</span> <span style="background:#ffbe7d;font-style:italic">Nessie is a monster.</span>

: <span style="background:#fff19d;font-style:italic">Nessie </span>   <span style="background:#ffbe7d;font-style:italic"> '''who''' lives in Loch Ness </span>   <span style="background:#fff19d;font-style:italic"> is a monster.</span>

: <span style="background:#fff19d;font-style:italic">Loch Ness is a lake.</span> <span style="background:#ffbe7d;font-style:italic">Loch Ness is in Scotland.</span>

: <span style="background:#fff19d;font-style:italic">Loch Ness </span>   <span style="background:#ffbe7d;font-style:italic"> '''which''' is in Scotland </span>   <span style="background:#fff19d;font-style:italic"> is a lake.</span>

Relativsätze werden mit den Pronomen '''who''' (bei Personen), bzw. '''which''' (bei Sachen) gebildet. Die [[Word Order]] <span style="background:tomato;padding:0.1em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;">S</span> - <span style="background:#fff19d;padding:0.1em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;">V</span> - <span style="background:skyblue;padding:0.1em 0.5em;border-radius:0.2em;">O</span> gilt auch im Relativsatz.

{{Achtung|Bei Definitionen einer Sache oder Person ist auch der Relativsatz in der 3. Person singular! Denkt an das [[Present_Simple/He,_she,_it_...|he,she,it <span style="background:orange;">-s</span>]]!}}

=== whose ===

: <span style="background:#fff19d;font-style:italic">Nessie</span>   <span style="background:#ffbe7d;font-style:italic"> '''whose''' head is small and '''whose''' body is very long</span>   <span style="background:#fff19d;font-style:italic">is a monster</span>.

: <span style="background:#fff19d;font-style:italic">Nessie is a monster</span>   <span style="background:#ffbe7d;font-style:italic"> '''whose''' head is small and '''whose''' body is very long. </span>

Durch das Relativpronomen '''whose''' (dessen, deren) kann man anzeigen, dass jemanden etwas gehört (Besitzfall). Es ist bei Sachen und Personen gleich. Es entspricht dem deutschen "dessen oder "deren".

== Contact Clauses ==
'''''Contact clauses''''' sind Relativsätze, in denen man das Relativpronomen einfach weglassen kann:

: <span style="background:#fff19d;font-style:italic">Nessie</span>   <span style="background:#ffbe7d;font-style:italic"><s>who/that</s> I saw at Loch Ness</span>   <span style="background:#fff19d;font-style:italic">is is a famous monster.</span>

: <span style="background:#fff19d;font-style:italic">Look! Here’s a photo</span>   <span style="background:#ffbe7d;font-style:italic"><s>which/that</s> I took there.</span>

{{Achtung|
*Folgt nach who/which/that ein Name, Nomen oder ein Pronomen, darf man das Relativpronomen weglassen.
*Folgt nach who/which/that ein Verb, ist das Relativpronomen notwendig!}}

Modal verbs

2025-07-15T03:57:37Z

Matthias Scharwies: /* Ersatzformen */

'''Modalverben''' (engl. '''''modal auxiliaries''''') sind Hilfsverben, die zum Ausdruck einer Modalität – d. h. im Wesentlichen: Begriffen von Notwendigkeit oder Möglichkeit – dienen.

<span style="font-size:1.2em;background:lightyellow;">Can</span> I go to the toilet?

You <span style="font-size:1.2em;background:lightyellow;">may</span>,

- if you <span style="font-size:1.2em;background:lightyellow;">can</span>.

Perhaps he is coming with us.

He <span style="font-size:1.2em;background:lightyellow;">might</span> come with us.

I <span style="font-size:1.2em;background:lightyellow;">must</span> remember to say thank you!

I <span style="font-size:1.2em;background:lightyellow;">mustn't</span> forget to say thank you.

Diese Hilfsverben bleiben immer in ihrer Form, können allerdings auch nicht in den verschiedenen Zeiten verwendet werden. Dafür gibt es Ersatzformen.
