What holds these lists together
These are the lists that carry a conversation past the introductions. Somebody who can say what they do at the weekend, and in enough detail to be asked a follow-up question, has moved from answering to talking — and that step is made of vocabulary rather than grammar.
For example: die Freizeit (free time, leisure), der Gegner (opponent), der Schlitten (sledge), das Objektiv (lens), das Musikstück (piece of music), der Spielfilm (feature film)
