Question types
Reading passages, dialogues, notices, grammar/vocabulary in context and communication tasks
  • Main clauses, subordinate clauses and separable verbs are high-yield. Find the finite verb and subject before translating the sentence.
  • Mark nominative, accusative, dative and genitive signals from articles and adjective endings. Case tells relationships even when word order is flexible.
  • German compounds often hide familiar parts. Split the final noun, then work backward through modifiers to infer meaning.

Common mistakes

  • Cases

    Assuming the first noun is always the subject.

    How to avoid: Use article endings and verb agreement to identify grammatical roles.

  • Word order

    Missing the final verb in subordinate clauses.

    How to avoid: When you see dass, weil, wenn or obwohl, look to the clause end for the finite verb.

  • Separable verbs

    Ignoring the prefix at the end of the clause.

    How to avoid: Reconnect prefixes such as auf, an, mit and zurück to the main verb meaning.

Analysis is paraphrased for study purposes. Always verify against the official examiner report and mark scheme.
