Who is the Present Tense poster for?
Present Tense belongs to the Languages section rather than to a school year, because languages is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning german can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Present Tense poster?
Six endings cover almost every verb. Learn those before any irregular list. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Present Tense belongs on the wall where that languages work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What size does the Present Tense poster print at?
Present Tense is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.

Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Present Tense loses nothing.Printing guide
