Tell a friend about your weekend
A1 · Message · Informal · 9 min · 40–55 words
Practise writing a few connected sentences about a recent weekend.
A friend asks what you did last weekend.
Write a short answer in German.
- where you were
- who you were with
- what you did
- whether you liked the weekend
This is one good possible response. Your answer can be different and still be correct.
Hallo Ben, am Wochenende war ich bei meiner Schwester in Potsdam. Am Samstag waren wir zusammen auf dem Markt und später im Kino. Am Sonntag haben wir zu Hause gekocht. Das Wochenende war sehr schön und entspannt. Liebe Grüße Mia
Why this works
- The events follow a simple chronological order
- It uses basic past-tense forms learners meet early
- The final sentence gives a clear personal reaction
