Bienentisch

1. Bienentisch Bienenstich or Bee sting cake is a German dessert made of a sweet yeast dough with a baked-on topping of caramelized almonds and filled with a vanilla custard, Buttercream or cream.The cake may have earned its name from its honey topping: according to one legend, a bee was attracted to it, and the baker who invented the cake was stung.Another source cites a legend of German bakers from the 15th century who lobbed beehives at raiders from a neighboring village, successfully repelling them, and celebrated later by baking a version of this cake named after their efforts.

2. Frage des Tages • Heute bin ich fröhlich, obwohl mein Tag ... a) war so stressig. b) so stressig war.

3. Objective • Students will be able to identify which conjunctions are subordinating and which are coordinating.

4. Conjunctions Coordinating Conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions are used to connect two words, phrases or clauses. The addition of a coordinating conjunction does not affect the word order of the two main clauses joined together. The most common coordinating conjunctions are: aber – but denn – for, because oder – or sondern – but (on the contrary) und - and

5. Conjunctions Ex. • Wirkommenheutenicht, sondern morgen. • Machst du das odermachst du das nicht? • Ichmöchtelängerbleiben, aberichhabekeineZeit. • Rainer fährtnichtnach Köln, denner hat die Stadtnichtgern. • Werner bekommteineKrawatte und Paul bekommteinHemd.

6. Conjunctions Note: According to the new spelling rules of 2006, there usually is no comma before the conjunctions und and oder unless it helps to clarify complex clauses.

7. Conjunctions • After a preceding negation, use the conjunction sondern instead of aber. Ex. IchgehenachHause, aberElkegeht in die Stadt. IchgehenichtnachHause, sondernichgehe in die Stadt.

8. Conjunctions Subordinating Conjunctions: are used to connect a main clause and a dependent clause. A subordinating conjunction does not affect the word order in English, but in German it does. In a sentence beginning with the main clause, the main verb (conjugated verb) of the dependent clause appears at the end of the dependent clause or the complete sentence. Clauses are separated by commas.

9. Subordinating Conjunctions The most common subordinating conjunctions are: • als – when bevor, ehe– before • bis – until da – since (in as much as) • damit – so that , in order that • dass – that nachdem – after (having) • ob – whether, if obgleich, obwohl – although • seitdem – since sobald – as soon as

10. Subordinating Conjunction • solange – as long as während – while • weil – becausewenn – when, if, whenever

11. Subordinating Conjunction Ex. • Wirgehen ins Restaurant, weilwir Hunger haben. • Christa wirdeinFahrradkaufen, sobaldsiegenug Geld hat. • Ichwarte, bis du zumirkommst. • Rudi sprach, wahrend der Lehrer etwaserklärte. • Andrea istgekommen, obwohlsiekrank war.

12. Subordinating Conjunctions Note: Although the two subordinating conjunctions als and wenn have similar meaning, als refers to a single event in the past and wennrefers to an action that is repeated in any tense. You can always say immerwennin order to emphasize this habitual repetition. • AlsichzehnJahre alt war, bekamich von meinemVatereinFahrrad. • WennichnachHausekomme, muss ichmeiner Mutter helfen.

13. Subordinating Conjunctions Note: In a sentence beginning with the dependent clause (the conjunction is at the beginning of the sentence), the conjugated verb of the dependent clause appears at the end of the dependent clause (before the comma) and the inverted word order is applied. Ex. Weil wirhungrigsind, gehenwir ins Restaurant. Sobalddu hierbist, essenwir.

14. Subordinating Conjunctions Note: All question words (wer, wie, wo, was, wann, warum, etc., including wo-compounds) can function like subordinating conjunctions, introducing indirect questions. • Direct question: Werist das dort? • Indirect question: Weißt du, wer das dortist?
