Exercise 5: Write About Your Favorite Sport and Food 📝

Answer the following questions in complete sentences (3-5 sentences each):

  1. Welche Sportart machst du gern? (Which sport do you like to do?)
  2. Wie oft machst du Sport? (How often do you do sports?)
  3. Was isst du am liebsten? (What's your favorite food?)
  4. Was ist dein Lieblingsgetränk? (What's your favorite drink?)

✅ Sample Answer:

  1. Welche Sportart machst du gern? I like to play soccer. I've been playing in a club for five years. Soccer is fun for me because I can move around a lot.

  2. Wie oft machst du Sport? I do sports three times a week. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I go to the gym. On weekends I sometimes play tennis with friends.

  3. Was isst du am liebsten? My favorite food is pizza with cheese and tomatoes. But I also like healthy food like salad and fruit. I try to eat an apple every day.

  4. Was ist dein Lieblingsgetränk? My favorite drink is water with lemon. I also like tea, especially in the evening. I don't like cola and lemonade that much because they have too much sugar.

💡 Extra Tip: When using Imperativ with "du": - Regular verbs: kochen → koch + e = Koche! - Irregular verbs (e → i): sprechen → sprich!, geben → gib! (no -e ending) - Separable verbs: aufstehen → steh auf! (the prefix goes to the end)
