GCSE German Language Quiz

The correct answer is "Gestern." In German, "Gestern" means "yesterday."

The sentence "Ich bin in Amerika und sitze in der Sonne" is in the present tense. This can be determined by the use of the present tense verb "bin" (am) and "sitze" (sit). The sentence describes the current situation of being in America and sitting in the sun.

The phrase "Wie geht's?" is a common German greeting that translates to "How are you?" in English. It is used to inquire about someone's well-being or current state.

The sentence "Ich bin nach Deutschland gefahren" is in the past tense. This is indicated by the use of the past participle "gefahren" and the auxiliary verb "bin" which is the past tense form of "sein" (to be). The sentence translates to "I have traveled to Germany" or "I went to Germany," both indicating a completed action in the past.

The word "weil" is a subordinating conjunction in German that means "because." When "weil" is used in a sentence, it introduces a subordinate clause that provides the reason or cause for the main clause. In this case, the correct answer states that "weil" sends the verb to the end of the clause. This is because in German, the verb is typically placed in the second position in a main clause, but in a subordinate clause introduced by "weil," the verb is moved to the end of the clause. Therefore, the correct sentence structure would be "weil es sonnig war" (because it was sunny).

'Klassenfahrt' is a German word that translates to 'school trip' in English. It refers to an organized trip or excursion taken by a group of students and their teachers outside of the school premises for educational or recreational purposes.

The correct answer is "I am in Switzerland, and I am sitting in the sun." This is because the sentence "Ich bin in der Schweiz und ich sitze in der Sonne" translates to "I am in Switzerland, and I am sitting in the sun." The sentence clearly states the location (Switzerland) and the action (sitting in the sun).

The given correct answer is 10.15. This can be determined by translating the German phrase "Es ist zehn Uhr fünfzehn" to English, which means "It is ten fifteen." Therefore, the time indicated is 10:15.

'Die Reise' is a German phrase that translates to 'the journey' in English. It refers to the act of traveling from one place to another, typically for leisure, exploration, or a specific purpose. It does not mean 'the rise', 'the risen', 'the route', or 'the road'.

The phrase "Ich bin seit 5 Tagen mit meinen Freunden hier in Frankreich" translates to "I have been here in France with my friends for 5 days." The sentence indicates that the speaker has been in France for a period of 5 days, accompanied by their friends.
