Starting and ending emails

Practise the right greeting and closing for personal and formal emails: Liebe Anna, Lieber Tom, Viele Grüße, Mit freundlichen Grüßen. After the greeting comes a comma, and the next line starts with a small letter.

Anna is a woman.

You write an email to your friend Tom. How do you start?

Tom is a man.

You write to two friends, Lisa and Max. How do you start?

Each name gets the form for its own gender.

Which closing is used between friends?

You will see your friend next week. What do you write before your name?

bald = soon.

Your email starts with „Liebe Anna,“. How does the next line start?

Look at the first letter of the line and at the noun.

You write a short message to a colleague you say du to. His name is Jan Krüger. How do you start?

You say du to Jan, so use his first name.

Select all closings that fit an email to a good friend.

More than one answer is correct. Which closings are informal?

You write to your landlord, Herr Becker, for the first time. How do you start?

Herr is masculine, so the adjective needs an ending for a man.
