Wir lernten die Vorsilbe “an” in Lektion 2.

Ich habe die Vorsilbelektionen befolgt. Ich bin damit sehr beeindruckt, und ich lerne viel, wenn ich diese Seite besuchen. Es tut mir leid, aber bemerkte etwas, darüber ich beklagen muss. Ich benutze gern das Learning Center zu üben. Die “be” und “ein” Wörter befinden sich nicht in dem Learning Center. Ich möchte lernen, was diese Wörter bedeuten. Können Sie mir helfen? Vielen Dank!

(We learned the prefix “an” in Lesson 2.

I have been following the prefix lessons. I am really impressed by them, and I always learn a lot when I visit this site. I am sorry, but I noticed something I must complain about. I like to use the Learning Center to practice. The “be” and “ein” words are not located in the Learning Center. I would like to learn what these words mean. Can you help me? Thanks a lot!)

Hallo Vanessa. I am impressed how you make complex sentences :) But still there a a few mistakes. If I may correct your sentences (again).

“Ich habe die Vorsilbelektionen befolgt.” _-> “Ich habe die Vorsilbenlektionen verfolgt.” to follow in this context is verfolgen. Only if you follow orders or instructions you use befolgen.

It’s just a typo probably but “…wenn ich diese Seite besuchen.” -> “…wenn ich diese Seite besuche” is without n. first person singular ich besuche (first and third person plural would be besuchen. Wir besuchen, sie besuchen)

“Es tut mir leid, aber bemerkte etwas, darüber ich beklagen muss.” -> “Es tut mir leid, aber ich bemerkte etwas, worüber ich mich beklagen muss.”
I amnot sure about the usgae of worüber and darüber (some Gpod members, help?) but I’d say darüber is if that something you want to talk was already mentioned. Like “that is something I want to talk about” that is something = darüber wheres worüber is unspecified “there is something I want to talk about”

beklagen doesn’t stand alone most of the time.
ich beklage mich
du beklagst dich
er/sie/es beklagt sich
wir beklagen uns
ihr beklagt euch
sie beklagen sich
There a a few cases like Sie beklagt sich über das Fehlern der Wörter im Learning Center (she complains about the missing words in the learining center). It when you say exactly what is wrong. But “darüber” or “worüber” is not exact since you already explained what is wrong and use worüber as placeholder that means you have to use sich (or in your sentence mich)

“Ich benutze gern das Learning Center zu üben.” -> “benutze gern das Learning Center um zu üben.” I believe “Ich benutze gern das Learning Center zum Üben.” is also possible.

Vielleicht könnten wir “er” lernen? Ich sehe diese Vorsilbe oft, zum Beispiel “erkennen” und “erwachen”.
