Meine Freundin hier möchte ...

Back

ein Stück Apfelkuchen

Answer explanation

Go with the noun closest to the article to determine the gender: It's 'das Stück.' Your server will be quite confused if you order a kitchen (Küche) or baby chick (Küken) for your girlfriend. The picture should also clarify why "Apfelkuchen" is apple cake. They don't really do 'pie' in Germany.

Ich hätte gern

Back

den Salat, einen Salat, den Salat mit Tomaten, einen Salat mit Tomaten

Answer explanation

You are doing something to 'der Salat,' so you need the accusative form. Either the indefinite or definite article could fit the context here, depending on whether you're saying 'a' (einen) or 'the' (den) salad.

eine Milch

Answer explanation

Know thy genders! It's 'die Milch'; when moving between the nominative and accusative cases, the feminine never changes.

Front

Wieviel kostet ...? Options: der Kuchen, die Küche, das Kuchen, den Kuchen

Back

der Kuchen

Answer explanation

"Der Kuchen" is the subject (nominative) of 'kosten.' In other words it is "doing" the costing, not receiving any action. And even if your server does know the price of the kitchen (Küche), it's probably not for sale.

Der Lehrer isst sehr gern...

Back

Bratkartoffeln

Answer explanation

You're saying the teacher really likes to eat fried potatoes. You need the -n to make potato plural, and "The teacher really likes to eat no potatoes" doesn't make much sense.

Front

_______ bringen Kim und Marie mit.

Back

den Schinken

Answer explanation

Accusative is needed here because Kim and Marie are bringing along the ham and thus doing something to it. Also note that the verb mitbringen is conjugated with -en, to agree with the plural subject Kim und Marie (they).

Ich nehme...

Back

ein Kilo Äpfel

Answer explanation

You are saying "I'll have a kilogram of apples," and you need the umlauted Äpfel for the German plural. But go with the noun closest to the article to determine the ending on your article. It's 'das Kilo.' There is no change in neuter article when moving between nominative and accusative. 'Das' remains 'das,' and 'ein' remains 'ein.'
