Algunas ideas para tus redacciones en alemán (Tema: „Mein Urlaub“)
22 abrA continuación, os presento una tabla muy útil para vuestras redacciones en alemán. El tema es “Mein Urlaub”, es decir, “Mis vacaciones”, tema que suele aparecer en numerosas ocasiones en las pruebas de certificación de la Escuela Oficial de Idiomas (EOI) o en cualquier otro tipo de examen de alemán. En este tipo de redacciones, es prácticamente inevitable que se nos pregunte cuándo estuvimos allí y qué cosas hicimos, entre otras cuestiones. Por ello, hace unas semanas nuestra profesora de la EOI (Valencia) nos pasó esta tabla que considero una gran ayuda porque, además de distinguir entre los verbos que van con “sein” o “haben” en Perfekt, nos da a elegir entre una amplia gama de actividades, de modo que así no sonemos tan repetitivos en nuestras redacciones y nombremos actividades que se salgan de las típicas. Estas son las preguntas más usuales en este tipo de textos:
Wann?, Wo/Wohin? Wetter? Was hast du gemacht?

«alertar de que», no «alertar que»
22 abr22/04/2013, vía www.fundeu.es
El verbo alertar, cuando va seguido de una oración encabezada por la conjunción que, requiere la preposición de, tal y como explica el Diccionario del estudiante.
Sin embargo, el queísmo, el uso incorrecto de la conjunción que en lugar de la secuencia de que, es muy frecuente en las noticias en las que aparece el verbo alertar: «La Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México alertó que en los meses de verano la radiación ultravioleta alcanza niveles de hasta 42 watts por metro» o «Alertó que los días por venir serán complejos y se va a requerir de mucho diálogo y debate».
Lo correcto en estos ejemplos habría sido escribir alertó de que.
Asimismo cabe señalar que, tal y como se indica en el Diccionario del español actual, de Seco, Andrés y Ramos, alertar también puede construirse con la preposición sobre: «La ONU alerta sobre la falta de fondos para refugiados sirios».
