1In German, which case is typically used for the subject of a sentence (who or what is doing the action)?
A.Accusative (Akkusativ)
B.Dative (Dativ)
C.Nominative (Nominativ)
D.Genitive (Genitiv)
Explanation: The nominative case marks the subject of the clause — the person or thing performing the action. Accusative marks most direct objects, dative most indirect objects, and genitive often shows possession.
2Which masculine definite article correctly completes the direct object? "Ich sehe ___ Hund."
A.der
B.den
C.dem
D.des
Explanation: Direct objects take the accusative. The masculine singular definite article in the accusative is den (Nominativ der → Akkusativ den).
3The verb helfen (to help) requires which case for the person being helped?
A.Nominative
B.Accusative
C.Dative
D.Genitive
Explanation: Helfen takes a dative object: Ich helfe dem Freund / der Freundin. Many common verbs of helping, giving, and thanking govern the dative.
4Which preposition always takes the dative case in standard modern German?
A.durch
B.für
C.mit
D.ohne
Explanation: Mit (with) always governs the dative: mit dem Bus, mit meiner Schwester. Durch, für and ohne are fixed accusative prepositions.
5Complete with the correct accusative form: "Sie kauft ___ Buch." (neuter)
A.das
B.den
C.dem
D.der
Explanation: Buch is neuter. Neuter nominative and accusative both use das, so the direct object is das Buch.
6Which sentence correctly uses the dative after the preposition aus?
A.Er kommt aus der Schweiz.
B.Er kommt aus die Schweiz.
C.Er kommt aus den Schweiz.
D.Er kommt aus des Schweiz.
Explanation: Aus always takes the dative. Schweiz is feminine, so dative singular is der Schweiz: aus der Schweiz.
7What is the genitive singular masculine/neuter definite article?
A.der
B.den
C.dem
D.des
Explanation: Genitive masculine and neuter singular use des (often with an -s/-es ending on the noun): des Mannes, des Kindes.
8In "Das ist das Auto meines Bruders", what does the genitive phrase meines Bruders express?
A.Location of the car
B.Possession (whose car)
C.Time when the car was bought
D.The car as direct object
Explanation: The genitive meines Bruders means "of my brother" / "my brother's", showing possession.
9In a standard German main clause, where does the conjugated (finite) verb usually appear?
A.At the very end of the clause
B.In second position
C.Always first, before any subject
D.Immediately after every object
Explanation: German main clauses follow the verb-second (V2) rule: the finite verb is the second idea. The first slot can be the subject, a time phrase, or another element.
10Which word order is correct for a yes/no question in German?
A.Du gehst heute ins Kino?
B.Gehst du heute ins Kino?
C.Heute du gehst ins Kino?
D.Ins Kino du gehst heute?
Explanation: Yes/no questions put the finite verb first, then the subject: Gehst du …?
