Was Tragen Sie Auf Der Party? - Using Adjectival Endings
Max, Bao, Tom and Sarah are going to a party, but they have quite different taste in clothes. What do they decide to wear?
All you need to do in this quiz is add adjectival endings. There is also one item where you need to add the correct ending to a personal pronoun. In order to do this correctly, you'll need to focus on the gender of the noun involved and its case, that is, whether it is in the nominative (the subject or doer of the verb) or in the accusative (the object or victim of the verb).
After Read morethe verb "to be", the noun remains in the nominative. So in the sentence, "Das ist ein roter Pullover," for instance, the adjective ending is -er for a masculine noun in the nominative. Once you wear the red jumper, however, it doesn't just exist, it is having something done to it. It is therefore an object and needs the accusative endings, as in "Ich trage einen roten Pullover".
Before tackling this quiz, you should make sure that you have worked through the Quizlet on Kleidung and that you have a good grasp of the rules for adjectival endings.

- 2.
Max trägt eine gelb__ Kappe.
Explanation
The correct answer is "e" because the word "gelb" is an adjective that describes the noun "Kappe" (cap) and in German, adjectives have different endings depending on the gender, number, and case of the noun they modify. In this case, "gelb" is modifying a feminine singular noun in the accusative case, so it takes the ending "-e".Rate this question:

Er hat auch ein blau___ T-Shirt an.
Explanation
The word "es" is the correct answer because it is the pronoun used to refer to a neuter noun in German. In this sentence, "blau" is an adjective describing the noun "T-Shirt," and since "T-Shirt" is a neuter noun, the pronoun "es" is used to refer to it.Rate this question:

Max trägt eine blau_ Jeans und Sportschuhe. Er sieht cool aus.
- 5.
Bao trägt auch gern bequem__ Kleidung.
- 6.
Sie trägt eine blau_ Mütze.
Explanation
The correct answer is "e" because the word "blau_" indicates that there is a missing letter in the word "blau". In German, the word "blau" means "blue", so the missing letter is most likely "e" to form the word "blaue". Therefore, the sentence should be "Sie trägt eine blaue Mütze" which means "She is wearing a blue hat".Rate this question:

" Das ist mein gepunktet__ Schal," sagt sie zu Sarah. "Glaubst du, er passt gut zu meinem Outfit?" "Ja. Dein Outfit ist super," antwortet Sarah.
Explanation
In this sentence the noun and the adjective occur after the verb "to be". That's why you need to use nominative endings. Bao is only talking about the existence of her spotted scarf. In this sentence she is not actually wearing it yet!Rate this question:
- 8.
Bao trägt eine blau__ Bluse und eine Jeans.
- 9.
Sie entscheidet sich, den gepunktet__ Schal zu tragen. Sie sieht schön aus.
Explanation
The correct answer is "en" because the adjective "gepunktet" is describing a masculine noun in the accusative case. In German, when an adjective is describing a masculine noun in the accusative case, it takes the ending "-en". Therefore, the correct form of the adjective is "gepunkteten".Rate this question:

Tom trägt eine schmal__ Krawatte...
Explanation
The correct answer is "e" because the word "schmal" is an adjective that describes the noun "Krawatte" (tie) and in German, adjectives have different endings depending on the gender, case, and number of the noun they modify. In this case, "Krawatte" is a feminine noun in the accusative case, so the adjective "schmal" needs to take the ending "-e" to match the noun.Rate this question:
