Notes for teachers
Use this test after introducing the accusative with common verbs such as haben, brauchen, kaufen, sehen and es gibt. It targets the most frequent A1 errors: forgetting that only masculine nouns change (der → den, ein → einen), using nicht instead of kein, and mixing up wer/wen and er/ihn. As a follow-up, have learners write five sentences about what they have or need at home, using einen, keinen and meinen correctly.
