Grade 10 German – Biased Listening Quiz

The verb gehen is conjugated for ich as gehe in the present tense (ich gehe). Other forms are for er/sie/es, du, and wir/they respectively.

Klassenarbeit is feminine (die Klassenarbeit). In the accusative feminine the indefinite article stays eine. 'Einen' is accusative masculine, 'ein' is neuter, and 'kein' negates the noun.

Wohin asks for direction (movement), so the preposition in takes the accusative: in die Bibliothek. 'In der' would be dative (location), 'auf die' is 'onto/to the' and less natural for Bibliothek, 'bei die' is ungrammatical.

The correct past participle of schreiben is geschrieben. 'Schrieb' is Präteritum, and the other forms are incorrect spellings.

For location (wo?), an takes the dative: an der Bushaltestelle. 'An die' would be accusative (direction), 'in dem' would be 'im' but not typical here, and 'auf den' is plural accusative.

In nominative masculine after a possessive without ending, the adjective takes -er: dein roter Stift. 'Deinen' would be accusative masculine, 'deine' is feminine, and 'rotes' is neuter.

Viele Schüler is plural, so the verb must be conjugated for sie (plural): lernen. 'Lernt' is singular/plural informal du/er-sie-es form mismatch here, 'lernenst' and 'lernten' are incorrect forms for this context.

The relative pronoun must agree with the antecedent (die Lehrerin, feminine) and with its role in the relative clause (subject), so 'die' is correct. 'Der' would be dative, 'den' accusative masculine, 'das' neuter.

The correct future construction places the finite verb werden in second position and the infinitive at the end: 'Morgen werden wir die Schulbibliothek besuchen.' The other orders are ungrammatical.

We want a subordinate clause meaning 'because it is raining' which requires weil; weil introduces a subordinate clause and sends the verb to the end: '..., weil es regnet.' 'Denn' is a coordinating conjunction (main-clause order), 'obwohl' means although, 'wenn' means if/when.

Die Lehrerin ruft wen? — mich. 'Rufen' takes the accusative, so the correct pronoun is mich. 'Mir' is dative, 'ich' is nominative, 'mein' is possessive.

Helfen takes the dative case, so the correct pronoun is mir. 'Mich' is accusative and incorrect here.

Erinnern sich an takes a reflexive pronoun in the accusative: wir erinnern uns an die Hausaufgaben. 'Uns' is the correct accusative reflexive pronoun for wir.

Nominative feminine after the definite article requires the adjective ending -e: die neue Schuluniform. The other options have wrong gender or incorrect adjective endings.

For comparisons with als, use the comparative form größer (not 'am größer' which is for superlative structures, and not 'mehr groß' or 'größte').

Genitive singular masculine uses des + -s on the noun: das Buch des Lehrers. 'Dem Lehrer' is dative, 'der Lehrer' nominative, and 'den Lehrers' is ungrammatical.

A separable verb like anfangen splits in main clauses: the conjugated part (fängt) is in second position and the separable prefix (an) goes to the end: 'Der Unterricht fängt um Viertel nach zwei an.' The first choice maintains correct word order if placed after a fronted time expression: 'Um Viertel nach zwei fängt der Unterricht an.'

'Seit zwei Jahren' expresses a duration from the past until now (I have been learning German for two years). 'Vor' would mean 'two years ago'.

For indicating up to a time point, use 'bis 15 Uhr'. 'Bis zum' would need a noun (e.g., 'bis zum Ende'), and the others are incorrect.

Yes/no questions in German invert verb and subject: 'Bist du in der Schulbibliothek?' 'Du bist' would be a statement, 'Ist' is third person singular, 'Seid' is for ihr.

Indirect questions are subordinate clauses and therefore use normal subordinate word order with the verb at the end: 'wann die Prüfung beginnt.' The option with verb-second is direct-question order and is incorrect here.

Klassenzimmer is one of the German neuter nouns whose plural is identical to the singular: die Klassenzimmer. The other forms are incorrect.

Schon means 'already' and is used to ask if something has been completed. 'Noch' means 'still', 'bald' 'soon', and 'nie' 'never'.

For present passive singular subject 'Die Klassenarbeit', use wird + Partizip II: 'Die Klassenarbeit wird von den Lehrern korrigiert.' 'Wurde' is simple past passive, 'wurden' is past plural or different subject, 'werden' is infinitive/plural present.

'Wenn' is used for general conditions or recurring situations (whenever/when). 'Als' refers to a single past event, 'weil' gives a reason, and 'obwohl' means although.
