German Language - Vocabulary (A1)

Clarification: Sentence 'a' uses 'Kaugummi' correctly as something you might buy for a party. The other sentences misuse 'Kaugummi', as it is not used for writing, fixing cars, or wearing.

Clarification: A 'Swan' is similar to a 'Gans' because both are types of birds. A cat, dog, and horse are mammals and not similar to a goose.

Clarification: A 'studio' is often a place where artistic activities like painting occur. Cooking happens in a kitchen, sleeping in a bedroom, and shopping at stores.

Clarification: The sentence 'Sie trägt einen Rock zur Party.' correctly uses 'Rock' to mean 'skirt'. The other sentences incorrectly use 'Rock': for music it should be 'Rockmusik', putting a skirt in the fridge does not make sense, and you cannot ride a skirt to school.

Clarification: The correct pronoun to complete the sentence is 'Sie', resulting in 'Sie sitzen auf der Bank.' It is the only pronoun here that pairs correctly with 'sitzen' in this context. 'Ich sitze', 'Du sitzt', and 'Er sitzt' would all require a different verb form.

Wearing a 'Zeitplan' (d) is incorrect; you wear a 'watch' (Armbanduhr).
