We read the two texts on page 8, asked Yes/No-questions with 'to be', 'can', and 'have got', and we had a closer look at 'to be' and his present tense forms. Besides, it is quite convenient when you have a garage and a driveway with some light. Therefore you do not only need lamps but things like a main distribution board (= Hauptverteilungskasten:), some cable sleeves (= Kabelmuffen), and some distribution boxes (= Abzweigdosen). |
