    Nehmen vs Einnehmen. Used interchangably? For example, for Wie oft muß ich die Tabletten einnehmen? Can we replace einnhemen with nehmen? If not, what is the rule behind? Thanks!

    Jemand VS Jemanden Ich schreie jemanden an. Jemand schreit mich an. I learned the two sentences from a native speaker, and he mentioned that these sentences sound most natural from the perspective from a native speaker. However, he said he doesn't really know why this is so too. Why do I use jemanden in one sentence and jemand in another? Or does it not matter which one I use? Thanks!

    A few German questions 1. Is "Was machst du, um fit zu bleiben?" the same as "Was machst du, zum fit bleiben?" (I am confused about the latter one) 2. Which one of the following is correct? "Den Mantel schenke ich einer armen Familie." "Einer armen Familie schenke ich den Mantel." Please explain a bit. Besides, is there any difference in terms of grammar between 'geben' and 'schenke'? (In terms of meaning, I know one of them is about gifting while another is not.) 3. "Ingrid und ich betraten die Wohnung." What's the difference between 'betreten' and 'entreten'?? Thanks very much! :) Sorry for posting 3 questions into one.

    They slightly differ in meaning and are in some cases interchangeable. Enthusiasm is usually linked to an interest (e.g. in photography, in languages, etc.) Passion can also apply to an interest (with a stronger meaning), but it also applies to love and sexual relationships, lifelong commitments (e.g. a profession which you are willing to take up for life), both of which you should not use the word 'enthusiasm'.

    Word order Can someone please see whether my answer is correct too? Thanks! Q1 Model ans: Sie wird im Januar die Schule abschliessen. My ans: Sie wird die Schule im Januar abschliessen. Q2 Model ans: Ich muss noch schnell meinen Sohn in Italian anrufen. My ans: Ich muss meinen Sohn noch schnell in Italian anrufen. Q3 Model ans: Ich bin das erste Mal Weihnachten mit dem Zug nach Paris gefahren. My ans: Ich bin Weihnachten das erste Mal mit dem Zug nach Paris gefahren. I do aware that I have to follow the "time+manner+place" rule but I'm not sure how to define "manner"? For example in Q3, does "das erste Mal" qualify as "manner" or "time"?

    Case determination (German) Translate: I have played tennis with Angela in the park yesterday. >>Ich habe gestern mit Angela im Park Tennis gespielt. Should I write "im park" or "in park"? The grammar book says "im park" but isn't "im" the short form of "in dem", meaning that this is the dative case? Why is this the dative case? Is it because the "mit" in "mit Angela" before hand makes it dative?

    German word "liegen" According to the dictionary, "liegen" means lie, is this 'lie' as in lying down on the floor or telling a lie to someone? Besidse, I have also come across sentences in which 'liegen' means 'located' or simply 'be', which should be replaceable by the normal 'bin' in 'ich bin' right? Can someone enlighten me on this? Thanks!
