In Chapters 3 and 4, we saw that a noun’s gender is not indicated by the physical gender of the object
named, and very rarely can be determined by anything in the noun itself. In the case of nouns referring
to people, there are masculine and feminine forms of nouns describing profession, ethnicity, relationship, and other categories. The feminine form is formed by adding the suffix
-in to the masculine noun. In some cases, an umlaut will also be added to
the stem (Ärztin). To form their plurals, these feminine forms will double
the final -n- before adding the -en (Freundinnen).
examples
der Kaufmann
der Hausmann
–
–
die Kauffrau
die Hausfrau
Other nouns of profession whose masculine form is a compound with Mann, such as
Kaufmann, will replace the -mann with -frau to form the feminine equivalent.

The Präteritum of the verbs sein and haben
use
examples
Das hast du gut gemacht.
Du warst prima!
You did that well.
You were great!
Der Urlaub war toll. Wir
hatten 30 Grad und haben jeden Tag gebadet.
Vacation was great. It was 30 degrees
and we went swimming every day.
In Chapter 7, we learned the past tense, das Perfekt. This tense is used overwhelmingly in spoken
communication (and in informal written texts such as personal letters, postcards or e-mails) for talking
about events in the past.
In contrast, the verbs sein and haben usually use the Präteritum in the past tense instead of the Perfekt.
It is important to note here that just because the Perfekt is a compound construction, this does not
impact the translation or usage. In the examples above, you can see that hast ... gemacht still translates
in English as “did”. Compound English tenses (have done, was doing, used to do) do not correspond
to compound German tenses. Remember: it is essential to translate meaning, not individual words.
forms
The Präteritum of the verb sein is built upon the stem war (from the same root as our form was), and
then takes the same endings as the modal verbs (like können) do in the present tense.

Familiarity and Understanding
Historical Notes
No tobacco or alcohol, and everybody profits: one Swiss business model
The Tante-Emma-Laden (mom-and-pop store) is quickly becoming extinct in Germany as larger
Supermärkte offer larger selections at lower prices with longer opening hours.
In Switzerland, however, one man’s dream created another model for big business. In 1925, Gottlieb
Duttweiler began selling staples directly out of five trucks, sometimes at even 40% less than the competition charged. His recipe for success was to sell the most needed products directly to the consumer at
the best possible price. Knowing that Switzerland was rather puritanical, he boosted his company’s
reputation by refusing to sell tobacco and alcohol. Today, Migros stores now comprise the largest retail
chain in Switzerland and one of the 500 largest corporations in the world.
In 1941, Gottlieb Duttweiler transformed Migros from an AG (a joint-stock company) to a cooperative
in which any Swiss could hold membership and participate in management. In effect, Migros is owned
by its customers. In 1944, Migros founded the
Klubschulen, club schools, which today
comprise the largest network for continuing
education in Switzerland, especially for
foreign languages.
This was only the first in a long string of
social initiatives Migros undertook, under
Duttweiler’s direction, in Switzerland, and the
company funds this work by committing 1%
of sales to cultural activities. In pursuing his
dream for a socially committed business
model, Gottlieb Duttweiler rather singlehandedly helped to create the image of
Switzerland as a socially engaged and humanitarian country.
