1. Translate 'they shall make'. (maken)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Ze zullen maken." This is the correct translation of "they shall make" in Dutch. The subject "ze" means "they" and the verb "zullen" means "shall" or "will." The infinitive form of the verb "maken" means "to make." Therefore, the correct translation is "Ze zullen maken."

Quiz covering the formation of the simple future tense in Dutch.

2. Translate 'I shall talk'. (praten)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Ik zal praten" because it accurately translates the given phrase "I shall talk" into Dutch. "Ik" means "I", "zal" means "shall/will", and "praten" means "talk". Therefore, "Ik zal praten" is the correct translation.

3. Translate 'we shall listen'. (luisteren)

Explanation

The correct answer is "We zullen luisteren." In Dutch, the verb "luisteren" (to listen) is conjugated differently depending on the subject pronoun. In this case, the subject pronoun "we" (we) requires the conjugation "zullen" (shall). Therefore, the correct translation of "we shall listen" is "We zullen luisteren."

Submit
4. Translate 'she shall fall'. (vallen)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Ze zal vallen" because the question asks for the translation of "she shall fall" into Dutch. "Ze zal vallen" is the correct translation, as it means "she will fall" in English. The other options, "Ze zullen vallen" and "Ze zal val," do not accurately translate the given phrase.

Submit
5. Translate 'you shall pay'. (betalen)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Je zult betalen" and "Je zal betalen" because both phrases mean "you shall pay" in Dutch. The word "je" means "you" and "zult" or "zal" means "shall" or "will". "Betalen" means "to pay". The use of "zult" or "zal" depends on the context or personal preference, as both are commonly used in the Dutch language. "Je zullen betalen" is incorrect because "zullen" is the plural form of "shall" and does not match with the singular "je".
