It\u2019s raining day after day. There already were sunny and very warm days in June but in the last past weeks it has only been raining. So if you are planning to go on a trip to Germany within the next few days make sure to take an umbrella along. Unfortunately, I cannot change or influence the weather but I can tell you what to say when you would like to talk about vacation plans.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. The question<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The first question that is useful when talking about vacation plans is to ask your interlocutor where he or she will go. The phrase you need to know for that is: <strong><em>in den Urlaub fahren<\/em><\/strong><em> = to go on vacation<\/em>. Below you can find the various grammatical forms how to ask where somebody is going.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where are you going on vacation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wohin f\u00e4hrst du in den Urlaub? (2<sup>nd<\/sup> person, singular, informal)<\/p>\n<p>Wohin fahrt ihr in den Urlaub? (2<sup>nd<\/sup> person, plural, informal)<\/p>\n<p>Wohin fahren Sie in den Urlaub? (2<sup>nd<\/sup> person, singular and plural, formal)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where is Doreen (she)\/Marco (he) going on vacation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wohin f\u00e4hrt Doreen (sie)\/Marco (er) in den Urlaub? (3<sup>rd<\/sup> person, singular)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where are we going on vacation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wohin fahren wir in den Urlaub? (1<sup>st<\/sup> person, plural)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where are Martin and Laura going on vacation?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wohin fahren Martin und Laura in den Urlaub? (3<sup>rd<\/sup> person, plural)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. The answer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you want to answer the question above you need to use the phrase <strong><em>fahren nach<\/em><\/strong><em> = to go to<\/em>. Here are the corresponding answers to the questions above:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ich fahre nach &#8230; \u2013 I\u2019m going to &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sie\/er f\u00e4hrt nach \u2026 \u2013 He\/she is going to \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Wir fahren nach &#8230; \u2013 We are going to &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Sie fahren nach \u2026 \u2013 They are going to \u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After you have started out your sentence like above, all you have to do is to insert the city, town or country you are going to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s vacation time in German and I guess most Germans would like to abscond from the country because the weather is really, really bad these days.
