Heute ist es klar und heiß.  Es ist nicht wolkig, und die Sonne scheint.  Es ist ______ (season, with article)

alt+ 132 = ä  ;  alt+148 = ö  ;  alt+129 = ü  ;  alt+225 = ß For each definition given, type the German two-way preposition. on a horizontal surface (like a table) : behind: between: on or at a vertical surface: in front of: inside, into: next to: over, above: under, beneath:

Choose the correct preposition from the list for each sentence given.  Heads-up, I will try to fool you by including preps that were NOT on the list.  You must know your prepositions! (there are only four we learned, you got this, right?)

Der Mann hilft ______ alten Frau.

In this section, please read each question’s instructions carefully so you write the correct things. (you will either be writing the season – with its article; or you will be writing a sentence to describe the weather you SEE in the picture; or you will be filling in the missing blank with a correct word/phrase to complete the thought, using vocabulary from this chapter.) What I mean, specifically: If the picture is clearly of flowers blooming, and the instructions say to write the season, I’m gonna write “the Spring” but in German of course. If the picture is of a big ol’ thunderstorm, and the instructions say to write a sentence about it, I’m gonna write, “It is stormy” or “There is thunder” or “That is a thunderstorm.” If it’s a German sentence that says “During a storm, it ________”   I’d write any of the verbs that it does (rains, snows, thunders, etc), but if it says “During a storm, it is ______” then I know i need an adjective, because I already have the verb, “is”, so I’d write an adj (cold, rainy, unpleasant, etc)

Bei einem Sturm, ___________ es.

Er fragt ____ meiner Gesundheit (health). über an von nach vor auf für bei

Ich habe nichts gegen dich, _____ du bist super freundlich!

IF YOU DON’T KNOW AN ANSWER, write an “x” in the answer box please.   Don’t just leave it blank – it messes up the scoring if you do that.  Thank you. Write these alt-codes down so you have them, or come back here to the first page if you need them during the test.  I won’t be posting them on every page like I have in the past.  Optionally, copy-paste (highlight, CTRL+C to copy, and CTRL+V to paste) is your friend. 🙂 ä is alt+132          ö is alt+148          ü is alt+129          ß is alt+225 and the articles chart if you need it:

Ich ______ deine Schwester.
