A1 Deutsch Grammatiktest: Akkusativ, Präpositionen, Imperativ & mehr | Übungen + Erklärung

How good is your German? Today we will find out. Today it's about grammar. There are various tasks on different topics that you must solve. After each topic, I'll briefly summarize the rules for you once again. Are you ready? Then we begin with Topic 1. Negation How do I negate this sentence? I don't have a cat. How about this sentence? I am not rich. And what about this sentence? I am not in school. And how do you respond to this statement? Do you have a cat? No. Moreover, in negation we distinguish between nicht, kein, and nein. No, we don't use it for questions. A pronoun functions like a noun, such as a masculine or feminine one. I have a cat. I don't have a cat. I have a dog. I don't have a dog. Also, "steht" never comes before a noun, nowhere else. We do not use it for everything else, such as The dress is not red. The light is not off. Let's continue with verb conjugation. Attention, now come somewhat irregular verbs. Let's see if you can conjugate these verbs. He is eating a banana. Peter and Susanne are at home. You meet your friends in the park. He doesn't like dogs. And can you conjugate all verb forms? Very important, whenever you learn new verbs, always check Is the verb regular or irregular? Also always look at the forms for perfect and preterite tense right away. If you've enjoyed the video so far, please leave a thumbs up And subscribe to my channel. Let's continue with personal pronouns in the accusative case. Susanne is calling you. Jonathan invites you. She is driving me home. We would be delighted to see you visit us again soon. Can you handle all forms? Here you have a brief overview once again of the personal pronouns in the accusative case. Myself You yourself Him him You you It is We ourselves You you You you Can you also form the accusative? What would the article be in the accusative here? I eat the apple. I give you the tomato. And how is it here? I'll close the window. And here? I love my neighbor's dog. And how is it here? I love my neighbor's dogs. Also, the accusative case is actually very simple. All forms remain the same, except the masculine form. He will become that one. One becomes a. I have a dog. I love the dog. But what about modal verbs like must, should, can, may? Are you also fit for that? Let's see. Can you form this sentence? I want to get up at 8 o'clock. And how is it here? You want to buy a new computer. And how is it here? He can sing well. Very good! Also after our modal verbs may, can, should, must, like, would like Does the other verb always appear in the infinitive? Separable verbs also appear in the infinitive. As in our first example. He will get up at 8 o'clock. The meanings of modal verbs are different. Please let me know if you'd also like me to make a video on this. Alright! Let's continue with the imperative. Let's start with the informal form. Also for you (singular) and for you (plural). For all other forms, there is usually no imperative. What is this sentence called for "du"? Go to school now. And for her? Go to school now. And how about here? Now lies the book. And for her? Now the book. And how about this sentence? Be quiet already. Be quiet already. Let us now briefly look once again at the formal form. Make this into an imperative sentence. Bring a salad with you. Calming down. Be quiet. Do not smoke here. Here, too, we see that with the formal version using "Sie," we need a subject. Be quiet. Be quiet. Be quiet. Let's quickly go over once again how the imperative is formed. With regular verbs, when using "du," you drop the "st." You go. Geh. With her, you simply take on her form. You go. Go. The same applies to you as well, but we additionally need the subject. You go. Please go. But there are also many irregular verbs here. We have already spoken about him. Be quiet. Be quiet. Be quiet. Here we have a different form for "du" and for "sie." But even with have, there are peculiarities. You have. Don't be afraid. Don't worry, it's normal again. Don't worry, it's normal again. But other verbs also have irregularities. Most of them are in the second person, i.e., "du." For example, when driving. You drive. Don't drive so fast. Will be. He will. Don't get mad. Likewise, when you learn a new verb, also look at its imperative form. Now comes a topic that many, many people do not like. Let's start with local prepositions. Where is the apple? The apple is on my head. Where is the apple? The apple is between my hands. Where is the apple? The apple is under my chin. Local prepositions are usually still very simple. Let's continue with temporal prepositions. Which preposition fits here? I will stay until tomorrow. I was born in the summer. I will meet you on Monday at 9 a.m. And what fits in this sentence? From tomorrow on, I won't eat any sugar anymore. That was already somewhat more difficult. Did you know them all? Prepositions are difficult. You need to develop a feel for her and know a few rules. Here are, for example, a few rules for temporal prepositions. With year dates, there is no preposition. I was born in 1992. When using seasons and months, you use the. I was born in January. I was born in the autumn. For data, times of day, and days, you always take the am. I am working on December 15. I'm coming to visit you on Monday. There is an exception, however. I sleep at night. When I start something, I use "from" or "since." From tomorrow on, I will no longer smoke. Let's continue with perfect. Write these sentences in the perfect tense. I am doing my homework. I did my homework. Do you play soccer? Have you played football? We are going home. We went home. I drink tea. I drank tea. Where are you going? Where did you go? We also perfectly form always with "sein" or "haben." One takes it when the position or situation changes. I have grown. I have gotten up. I drove by car. But what would German be like if there weren't also exceptions here? I stayed. I have been. Also here, whenever you learn a new verb, always learn its perfect tense form at the same time. The same naturally applies to the articles as well. Do you know the articles for these nouns? The apple, the school, and the car. There are few rules for the articles. Nevertheless, here are a few rules that might help you. All autons are male. The BMW, the VW, the Hyundai, the Toyota, and all trains are masculine. The RE, the ICE, and of course all male individuals are male. The uncle, the husband, the boy, the grandfather, the man. Days, months, and seasons are also masculine. Monday, January, autumn, winter. And most alcoholic beverages are also masculine. The vodka, the gin. But even here there is an exception, namely beer. Let's quickly go over all the rules again. All motorcycle names are feminine. The Yamaha, the Suzuki. The same applies to ships and aircraft. The AIDA or the Concorde. All numbers are likewise feminine. One, the hundred, the millions. All numbers are therefore feminine. The same applies to words that have these endings. Reality, bowing, friendship, nation, illness. And of course also female animals and female people. The woman, the aunt, the little dog. Let's quickly go over the rules once again. When we have infinitives used as nouns, such as drinking, building, or filming. And with diminutives like -chen and -lein. That is why it is called "the girl" and not "the girls." And it's not a grammar topic, but still truly important. Let's quickly look at times once again. How else could you say that? It is twelve forty-five. It's a quarter to one. And how about here? It is 2:30 p.m. It's half past two. And what about this one? It is fifteen past eight. It is a quarter past eight. Great, you've made it for today. That was today's grammar test. Can you answer all the questions, or is there still a topic that's very difficult for you? Let me know below in the comments. Until next time.
