A Correct answer
Explanation

The modal verb 'sollen' (should/must) conjugated for second person singular 'du' is 'sollst'. 'Du sollst ins Büro gehen' means 'You should go to the office'. 'Sollen' is plural/3rd person, 'soll' is 1st/3rd person singular, and 'solle' is subjunctive - none match 'du'.

The modal verb 'dürfen' means 'to be allowed to' or 'may'. With the impersonal pronoun 'man' (meaning 'one' or 'people in general'), the verb conjugates to the 3rd person singular form 'darf'. 'Man darf hier rauchen' means 'One may smoke here' or 'Smoking is permitted here'.

D Correct answer
Explanation

'Es gibt' is an idiomatic German expression meaning 'there is' or 'there are'. The verb 'geben' (to give) conjugates irregularly: ich gebe, du gibst, er/sie/es gibt. With the impersonal subject 'es', we use 'gibt'. 'Es gibt heute keine Arbeit' means 'There is no work today'.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The modal verb 'können' (to be able to/can) conjugates in the present tense as: ich kann, du kannst, er/sie/es kann, wir können, ihr könnt, sie können. 'Ihr' is the 2nd person plural pronoun meaning 'you all' (informal), so the correct form is 'könnt'. 'Ihr könnt jetzt nach Hause gehen' means 'You all may go home now'.

  3. suchte

  4. suchtete
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The verb 'suchen' (to search/look for) is a regular weak verb. In the present tense, 'wir' (first person plural 'we') always takes the infinitive form without any ending: wir suchen. 'Wir suchen für eine billige Pauschalreise' means 'We're looking for a cheap package tour' (note: 'suchen nach' would be more idiomatic for 'searching for').

The verb 'nehmen' (to take) is a stem-changing verb. In the present tense, the 2nd person singular 'du' form has both the -st ending and a stem vowel change from e to i: du nimmst (not nehmst or nimst). 'Wann nimmst du das Buch zurück?' means 'When are you taking the book back?' or 'When will you return the book?'
