I can name foods in the plural, talk about what I like, ask for the amount I need and understand a price, replace a noun with a pronoun, and talk about yesterday.

There are no new rules in this lesson — only what you've already covered in the module.
• The plural: the article is always die, and there are five endings — die Brote, die Eier, die Tomaten, die Hotels, die Brötchen. Some words take an umlaut (Äpfel), some have no plural at all (die Milch).
• Likes: Ich mag Käse — about a thing; Lena isst gern Wurst — about an activity; manchmal goes in the same place as gern.
• Measures and prices: zwei Kilo Tomaten, drei Flaschen Wasser; 2,50 € is said aloud as “zwei Euro fünfzig”.
• Pronouns: der Kuchen — ihn, die Wurst — sie, das Brot — es. The German article decides, not English “it”.
• Yesterday: war and hatte, with the time expressions gestern, vorgestern, früher; the verb stays second.
• Two similar forms: mögen is “like” in general (Ich mag Tee), möchte is “would like”, a request for now (Ich möchte einen Tee, bitte), just like English “I like” and “I'd like”.
