Help with GCSE German oral

Hi, c:

It's really good! I did German for my GCSEs too. I'd put in some opinions, like add in "es macht spass" or something. They like to hear that.

Fine but there are a couple of grammar errors. Don't forget that a modal verb like "wollen" or "müssen" is followed by an infinitive, not the past participle. The indication of past time comes entirely from using the past tense "wollte" or "musste". So it should be: "Letztes Wochenende wollte ich zu Oxford Street fahren" [Not gefahren] and similarly it should be: " Also musste ich auf das Central Line fahren."[Not gefahren] If it helps, think of the English structure. We say," I wanted to go [infinitive] to Oxford Street" and not " I wanted went to Oxford Street".

I don't think you can just translate "run" as in "the Piccadilly Line wasn't running" literally with "laufen". To sound more idiomatic I'd suggest "Die Piccadilly Linie war ausser Dienst" [=out of service] or "funktionerte nicht" [was not functioning]. "Funktionieren" is a useful verb to know e.g. "Es funktioniert nicht" = "It's not working" [about a machine etc.]

Hope that helps.

Good luck
