The dative case in German primarily indicates the indirect object. Other functions such as marking the direct object or possession are handled by different cases.

'Du bist' is the correct conjugation of 'sein' for the second person singular. The other forms are either incorrect or apply to different subjects.

'Für' is a preposition that always takes the accusative case in German. The other prepositions typically govern different cases.
In a main clause, what happens to the separable prefix of a German separable verb?
It remains with the verb.
It is omitted.
It is placed at the end of the sentence.
It is attached to the subject.
With separable verbs in German, the prefix detaches and is placed at the end of the sentence in main clauses. This is a key characteristic of German verb placement.
Which sentence structure is used to form a yes-no question in German?
Subject-Object-Verb
Subject-Verb-Object

Yes-no questions in German typically start with the verb, followed by the subject and then the object, which is known as inversion. This distinguishes questions from statements.
Which sentence correctly uses 'nicht' for negation in German?
Ich nicht habe Hunger.
Ich habe Hunger nicht.
Ich habe nicht Hunger.
Nicht ich habe Hunger.
The sentence 'Ich habe nicht Hunger.' correctly places 'nicht' to negate the verb phrase. The other options disrupt the standard word order for negation in German.
In the sentence 'Weil ich müde bin, gehe ich schlafen', what is the role of 'weil'?
It indicates contrast.
It introduces a relative clause.

It functions as a coordinating conjunction.
'Weil' is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a clause explaining the reason behind the action. It causes the verb in its clause to appear at the end.
How do modal verbs affect sentence structure in German?
They do not change the word order.
The main verb is placed at the beginning.
The infinitive of the main verb is placed at the end.
The modal verb is moved to the end.
When modal verbs are used in German, the main verb appears in its infinitive form at the end of the sentence. This rule maintains the overall sentence structure.
Which sentence correctly demonstrates the genitive case in German?
Das Auto dem Mann ist neu.
Das Auto von der Mann ist neu.
Das Auto des Mannes ist neu.
Das Auto der Mann ist neu.
The sentence 'Das Auto des Mannes ist neu.' correctly employs the genitive case to express possession. The other options incorrectly use dative or nominative forms.

Obwohl, ich müde bin, gehe ich zur Party.
Obwohl bin ich müde, gehe ich zur Party.
Obwohl ich müde bin, gehe ich zur Party.
Obwohl ich bin müde, gehe ich zur Party.
In subordinate clauses introduced by 'obwohl', the finite verb is placed at the end. Option A adheres to this grammatical structure, while the others do not.
Which sentence uses the passive voice correctly in German?
Der Lehrer schrieb der Brief.
Der Brief wurde vom Lehrer geschrieben.
Der Brief war geschrieben vom Lehrer.
Der Brief hat vom Lehrer geschrieben.
The passive voice in German is correctly formed using the appropriate form of 'werden' along with the past participle. Option A follows this rule perfectly.
In the sentence 'Wenn er kommt, werden wir essen', what type of clause is 'Wenn er kommt'?
It is a coordinate clause.
It is an independent clause.
It is a relative clause.
It is a subordinate clause expressing time.
'Wenn er kommt' is a subordinate clause that provides a temporal condition for the main clause. It cannot stand alone and follows the rules of subordinate word order.

Ich bin ins Kino gegangen, als ich Zeit hatte.
