Conjunctions and Comparative

Charlotte, Mia, and Jackson are writing a German essay and they want to use coordinating conjunctions that do not affect word order. Which of the following conjunctions can they use?

• und

• dass

• denn

• sondern

Maya geht jeden Tag pünktlich zur Schule, _ sie gute Noten in Mathe bekommen möchte. (denn or weil?)

Marco hat ein großes Haus in der Stadt, aber Martina's Haus auf dem Land ist _. (bigger)

Elijah ist froh, _ Priya ihm bei den Hausaufgaben hilft.

• dass

• und

• denn

• damit

Jackson, Kai, and Mia are working on a group project about grammar. They come across a rule that says 'Subordinating Conjunctions require you to kick the verb to the end of the clause and unconjugate it.' Is this rule correct?

• True

• False

Answer explanation

You do not uncongujate the verb, but rather you leave it in whatever conjugation it was in. (Maria saugt staub, weil das Wohnzimmer dreckig IST.) - the living room is the subject, so you leave the verb conjugated to the "es" form.

What is the comparative form of the adjective "intelligent"?

What do you do to a one syllable adjective with an A, O or U in it to make it comparative?

• Add -er to the end

• Add an umlaut to the vowel sound

• You don't need to change anything

• You add "mehr' to make it "more + adjective"

What is the comparative form of "gern"?

• gern

• lieber

• gut

• besser

Meine Katze ist _. (schwarz)

• schwarz

• schwärzer

• schwarze

Answer explanation

There is nothing being compared in this sentence, and therefore you can not use the comparative.

Mein Haus ist schön, aber ich finde dein Haus _. (schön)
