Notes for teachers
The test targets the most common A2 errors: using haben with verbs of movement or change, adding ge- to inseparable and -ieren verbs, putting ge- in the wrong place in separable verbs, and using weak endings (-t) with strong verbs. It also checks that the participle goes at the end of the clause. For follow-up, ask learners to write a short email about their weekend, then swap and correct each other's auxiliaries and participles.
