GOETHE B1 · CHEAT SHEETS
Five sheets. The grammar the B1 paper grades.
B1 does not ask for more words, it asks for control: Kohärenz and Strukturen are two of the four criteria in every writing task. These sheets follow the order the level actually builds — Konnektoren and Satzbau, the tenses plus Passiv and Konjunktiv II, Präpositionen with the Genitiv, Nominalstil and Relativsätze, then register and the fixed exam phrases.

Konnektoren & Satzbau · The single criterion B1 grades hardest: Kohärenz
B1 grades Kohärenz — whether your text is actually stitched together. That makes connectors the highest-yield grammar on the whole exam: you can carry a weak word field, but a text made of seven unconnected main clauses reads as A2 and caps your Schreiben band. This sheet is the full B1 connector inventory plus the word-order rule that goes with each one. Learn them as POSITION rules, not as vocabulary, because the connectors themselves are easy and the position is what gets marked.

Zeiten, Passiv & Konjunktiv II · Drei Systeme, die B1 in jedem Teil prüft
B1 keeps the two past tenses you know and adds two new systems on top of them: the Passiv (rules, processes, official texts) and the Konjunktiv II (wishes, polite requests, unreal conditions, and every suggestion you will ever make in Sprechen Teil 1). The Präteritum also stops being a small exception — from B1 on you need it for the narrative past in Lesen Teil 1 and in the Hören Vortrag.

Präpositionen, Kasus & Genitiv · Where B1 stops giving you the case for free
At A1/A2 the case was mostly decoration. At B1 it is marked: in the two-part connectors, inside relative clauses, after verbs with fixed prepositions, and in the Genitiv that B1 introduces for the first time. This sheet groups the prepositions by the case they demand, then adds the two structures B1 grades most often and candidates prepare least — Verben mit Präpositionen and the Genitiv.

Nominalstil, Relativsätze & Textbau · Was einen B1-Text von einem A2-Text unterscheidet
The clearest external signal of B1 is density: while A2 texts are chains of short clauses, B1 texts pack information into nouns and relative clauses. Examiners are told to reward this under Wortschatz and Strukturen — but only when it is correct. This sheet gives the three transformations that do the most work, plus sentence openers that make a written text read like a discourse rather than a list.

Register, Redemittel & die Prüfungsformeln · Die Textbausteine, die wörtlich Punkte wert sind
B1 grades the speech act, not the content: Schreiben Teil 1 is a private e-mail, Teil 2 a public opinion, Teil 3 a half-formal letter — and the register is what separates them. This sheet is a phrase bank mapped to the three writing tasks and the four speaking parts. Learn the blocks whole. Next to Konnektoren, this is the fastest way to lift a band.
