Which definite article is correct for the noun 'Buch' in the nominative singular?
die
der
den
das
'Buch' is a neuter noun in German, so its nominative singular article is 'das'. 'Der' is masculine, 'die' is feminine, and 'den' is the accusative masculine form.
How do you say 'apple' in German?
Birne
Apfel
Banane
Orange
The German word for 'apple' is 'Apfel'. 'Birne' means 'pear', 'Orange' means 'orange', and 'Banane' means 'banana'.
What is the correct present-tense conjugation of 'gehen' for 'ich'?
gehen
geht
gehst
gehe
The verb 'gehen' in the present tense is conjugated as 'ich gehe'. 'Gehst' is 'du', 'geht' is 'er/sie/es', and 'gehen' is 'wir/Sie/sie'.
Choose the correct accusative article: Ich sehe ___ Mann.
der
des
den
dem
'Mann' is masculine, and in the accusative case the definite article for masculine nouns is 'den'. 'Der' is nominative, 'dem' is dative, and 'des' is genitive.
What is the plural form of 'das Haus'?
die Häuse
die Hauser
die Häus
die Häuser
The correct plural of 'Haus' is 'Häuser', with an umlaut and '-er' ending. The other options miss the umlaut or add incorrect endings.
Ich gebe ___ Frau ein Geschenk. Which article fits in the dative case?
die
den
der
des
'Frau' is feminine. In the dative case, the feminine definite article changes from 'die' to 'der'. 'Den' is masculine dative, and 'des' is genitive.
Which sentence correctly forms the question 'When are you coming?'
Kommst du wann?
Du kommst wann?
Wann du kommst?
Wann kommst du?
In German questions with question words like 'Wann', the verb comes immediately after the question word: 'Wann kommst du?'. The other options violate standard German word order.
Choose the correct auxiliary verb for the Perfekt: Ich ___ den Brief gestern geschrieben.
bin
war
habe
hattest
The perfect tense of 'schreiben' uses 'haben'. So 'Ich habe den Brief geschrieben.' 'Bin' and 'war' are used with verbs of motion or state, not 'schreiben'.
Which preposition always requires the dative case?
für
gegen
mit
durch
'Mit' always takes the dative case. 'Durch', 'für', and 'gegen' all require the accusative case.
Fill in the correct form of the modal verb: Ich ___ heute länger bleiben.
müssen
musst
müsst
muss
For 'ich' the correct present-tense form of 'müssen' is 'muss'. 'Musst' is 'du', 'müssen' is the infinitive, and 'müsst' is 'ihr'.
Select the correct reflexive pronoun: Ich erinnere ___ an den Termin.
mir
mich
miches
dich
'Erinnern an' is a reflexive verb in this context and requires 'mich' for the first person singular. 'Mir' would be dative, and 'dich' is second person.
Choose the correct adjective ending: ein schön___ Auto.
schön
schöner
schönes
schönes
For a neuter noun in nominative after an indefinite article, the adjective ending is '-es', yielding 'ein schönes Auto'.
Which sentence demonstrates correct adjective and article agreement?
Ich esse gerne den frisches Brot.
Ich esse gerne die frisches Brot.
Ich esse gerne das frisches Brot.
Ich esse gerne das frische Brot.
'Brot' is neuter nominative, so the correct definite article is 'das' and the adjective ending is '-e', forming 'das frische Brot'.
We help the children. Fill in the article in dative plural: Wir helfen ___ Kindern.
des
den
die
dem
The dative plural definite article for all genders is 'den'. Also note that 'Kindern' adds an '-n' in the plural dative.
Which sentence shows correct subordinate clause word order?
Ich glaube, dass kommt er morgen.
Ich glaube, dass er morgen kommt.
Ich glaube, dass morgen er kommt.
Ich glaube, dass er kommt morgen.
In a subordinate clause introduced by 'dass', the conjugated verb goes to the end: 'dass er morgen kommt'. The other options place words incorrectly within the clause.
How do you express 'The book is being read by the student' in passive voice?
Das Buch wird vom Studenten gelesen.
Das Buch ist von dem Studenten gelesen worden.
Das Buch wurde vom Student gelesen.
Das Buch wird von dem Student gelesen.
The correct present passive uses 'wird' + von + dative: 'wird vom Studenten gelesen'. 'Wurde' is past, and the articles in the wrong options are incorrect.
Fill in the Konjunktiv II form: Wenn ich ___, würde ich eine Weltreise machen.
bin reich
wäre reich
reich wäre
wäre ich reich
In Konjunktiv II the verb 'sein' changes to 'wäre'. The correct word order is 'Wenn ich reich wäre'.
Which preposition requires the genitive case?
auf
unter
trotz
mit
'Trotz' is one of the prepositions that governs the genitive case. 'Auf', 'unter', and 'mit' take dative or accusative depending on context, but not genitive.
Complete the sentence with the separable verb in correct order: Er ___ um 7 Uhr.
steht um 7 Uhr auf
steht um auf 7 Uhr
steht auf um 7 Uhr
aufsteht um 7 Uhr
Separable verbs in German split in main clauses, placing the prefix at the end: 'Er steht um 7 Uhr auf.' The other options misplace the prefix.
Which relative pronoun correctly completes the sentence: Der Mann, ___ spricht, ist mein Vater.
der
wer
dem
den
The relative pronoun for a masculine noun in the nominative case is 'der'. 'Den' is accusative, 'dem' is dative, and 'wer' is used in free relative clauses, not here.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Assess comprehension of German grammar concepts

Cheat Sheet

  1. Master the four German noun cases - Dive into nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive to see who's doing what in a sentence. For example, in "Der Hund beißt den Mann", "der Hund" is the doer (nominative) and "den Mann" is the receiver (accusative). Practice these roles to unlock clear, confident German sentences. German articles
  2. Learn German noun genders - German nouns can be masculine (der), feminine (die), or neuter (das), and each gender changes your articles and adjective endings. Picture "der Tisch" as a burly table, "die Lampe" as a delicate lamp, and "das Buch" as a neutral book - each with its own flair. Memorizing these genders makes your German sparkle and sound authentic. Gender in German: Noun guide
  3. Conquer article declensions - Get comfortable with definite and indefinite articles shifting across cases and genders. For example, "der" (masculine nominative) becomes "den" in the accusative, while "ein" (masc. nom.) changes to "einen" in the same case. Master these forms to make every noun feel right at home. German articles
  4. Build everyday vocabulary - Stock up on words for food, travel, and family so you can chat about apples (Apfel), trains (Zug), and moms (Mutter) like a native. Flashcards, labeling items around your room, or fun apps can turn study time into playtime. Soon you'll impress friends with a vocabulary that's ready for any topic. German vocabulary: Everyday topics
  5. Practice verb conjugations - Regular and irregular verbs in present, past, and future tenses let you share what you do, did, and will do. Take "gehen" for a spin: "ich gehe" (present), "ich ging" (past), and "ich werde gehen" (future). Drill these forms to ride the wave of smooth, confident conversation. German verb conjugation: A guide
  6. Get main clause word order right - German loves a clear subject-verb-object setup, as in "Ich esse einen Apfel" (I eat an apple). Keeping that SVO pattern in mind will make your sentences punchy and precise. Practice with fun prompts like "Ich sehe…" and fill in the blanks for instant wins. German sentence structure & word order
  7. Handle subordinate clauses like a champ - When you add "dass" or "weil," the verb jumps to the end: "Ich weiß, dass du müde bist." Think of it as a little verb party at the end of the sentence. Mastering this switch-up brings your German to the next level. German sentence structure & word order
  8. Use modal verbs confidently - Words like "können" (can), "müssen" (must), and "dürfen" (may) spice up your sentences and sit neatly in the second spot: "Ich kann Deutsch sprechen." These helpers let you express ability, necessity, and permission with flair. Add them to every lesson for extra versatility. German sentence structure & word order
  9. Craft clear relative clauses - Give more detail with clauses like "Das Buch, das ich lese, ist spannend." The magic word "das" links your extra info back to the noun. Playing with these structures makes your German richer and more expressive. German sentence structure & word order
  10. Negate sentences like a pro - Learn when to use "nicht" (not) and "kein" (no) to flip meanings, as in "Ich habe kein Auto" or "Ich gehe nicht." Placement matters: "nicht" usually goes near the verb or adjective, while "kein" directly replaces indefinite articles. Nail this, and you'll master every "no" and "not" in German.
