Sample Canary Islands PAU German II Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Canary Islands PAU German II exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Ergänzen Sie den Satz mit dem richtigen Artikel im Akkusativ: 'Der Student kauft ______ neuen Laptops für seine Universitätskurse.'
A.den
B.dem
C.des
D.der
Explanation: The direct object 'Laptop' is masculine ('der Laptop') and functions as the direct object of the transitive verb 'kaufen', which requires the accusative case. The masculine singular accusative definite article is 'den'.
2Welche Wortstellung ist in einem deutschen Hauptsatz grammatikalisch korrekt?
A.Gestern der Lehrer hat den Schülern die Grammatik erklärt.
B.Gestern hat der Lehrer den Schülern die Grammatik erklärt.
C.Gestern der Lehrer erklärten den Schülern die Grammatik.
D.Gestern hat erklärt der Lehrer den Schülern die Grammatik.
Explanation: In a German main clause (Hauptsatz), the conjugated verb must occupy the second position (V2 position). When an adverbial of time like 'Gestern' occupies the first position, inversion occurs so that the verb 'hat' comes second, followed immediately by the subject 'der Lehrer'.
3Wählen Sie die richtige Präposition: 'Maria fährt jeden Morgen ______ dem Bus zur Schule.'
A.bei
B.ohne
C.mit
D.durch
Explanation: The preposition 'mit' means 'by' or 'with' when referring to means of transportation and always requires the dative case ('dem Bus').
4Ergänzen Sie das Perfekt mit dem passenden Hilfsverb: 'Letzten Sommer ______ meine Familie nach Gran Canaria geflogen.'
A.hat
B.wird
C.war
D.ist
Explanation: Verbs indicating movement from one location to another (such as 'fliegen') form the Perfekt tense with the auxiliary verb 'sein' (3rd person singular 'ist' referring to 'meine Familie').
5Verbinden Sie die Sätze mit 'weil': 'Thomas bleibt zu Hause. Er ist krank.'
A.Thomas bleibt zu Hause, weil er krank ist.
B.Thomas bleibt zu Hause, weil er ist krank.
C.Thomas bleibt zu Hause, weil krank er ist.
D.Thomas bleibt zu Hause, weil ist er krank.
Explanation: The causal conjunction 'weil' introduces a subordinate clause (Nebensatz), in which the conjugated verb ('ist') must be placed at the very end of the clause.
6Wählen Sie die korrekte Modalverbform: 'Meine Schwester ______ sehr gut Deutsch sprechen.'
A.können
B.kann
C.kannst
D.könnt
Explanation: The 3rd person singular present tense form of the modal verb 'können' is 'kann' (without stem vowel mutation and without an ending, matching 'Meine Schwester').
7Was ist die korrekte Pluralform des Substantivs 'das Buch'?
A.die Buche
B.die Büchern
C.die Bücher
D.die Buchs
Explanation: The noun 'das Buch' forms its nominative plural by adding an umlaut to the stem vowel 'u' and suffixing '-er', yielding 'die Bücher'.
8Ergänzen Sie das Relativpronomen im Nominativ: 'Der Mann, ______ dort an der Haltestelle steht, ist mein Deutschlehrer.'
A.den
B.dem
C.dessen
D.der
Explanation: The reference noun 'der Mann' is masculine singular and acts as the subject of the relative clause ('steht'), requiring the nominative relative pronoun 'der'.
9Ergänzen Sie das Personalpronomen im Dativ: 'Ich schenke ______ (er) ein Buch zum Geburtstag.'
A.ihm
B.ihn
C.sein
D.er
Explanation: The verb 'schenken' takes a dative recipient object ('geben/schenken + Jm. etwas'). The 3rd person singular masculine personal pronoun in the dative case is 'ihm'.
10Wie lautet der Satz mit dem trennbaren Verb 'anrufen' im Präsens korrekt?
A.Peter anruft seine Großmutter heute Abend.
B.Peter ruft seine Großmutter heute Abend an.
C.Peter ruft an seine Großmutter heute Abend.
D.Peter ist seine Großmutter heute Abend anrufen.
Explanation: In a simple main clause in the present tense, the prefix of a separable verb ('an-') detaches and moves to the very end of the clause, while the conjugated stem ('ruft') occupies position 2.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this practice bank in the same format as the real Canary Islands PAU exam?

No, and it is important to know the difference. The official Canary Islands PAU paper is a 90-minute examination sat in Spanish and built around reading comprehension of a German text plus open and semi-constructed written production in German. Under the 2026 PAU design rules agreed by COPAU and the CRUE, open and semi-constructed responses must account for at least 70% of every paper, so the real exam contains no multiple-choice section. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the same official 2º Bachillerato syllabus — not an official translation, not a past paper, and not a simulation of the exam format. Use it to drill the underlying knowledge and reasoning quickly, then practise writing the composition and open comprehension answers in German under timed conditions separately, because that is what the examiners actually mark.

What is the format of the PAU Foreign Language II German exam in the Canary Islands?

The exam is a 90-minute paper evaluating reading comprehension, grammar/syntax rephrasing and transformations, vocabulary analysis, and a short written essay.

What level of German is required for PAU Alemán 2º Bachillerato in Canary Islands?

The exam targets B1 to intermediate B2 CEFR level proficiency expected of second-year Bachillerato students under LOMLOE.

How is the PAU Access Phase mark calculated with Bachillerato GPA?

A minimum mark of 4.0 out of 10 is required on the PAU Access Phase. The final admission score combines 60% of the Bachillerato GPA and 40% of the PAU Access Phase score (must be >= 5.0 total to pass).

What registration fee applies for the 2026 Canary Islands PAU examination?

The base registration fee for the PAU Access Phase in the Canary Islands is set at EUR 76.12 by Gobierno de Canarias / COPAU.
