This 30-question A2 grammar test practises the nine German two-way prepositions (an, auf, hinter, in, neben, über, unter, vor, zwischen). It covers choosing dative for location (Wo?) and accusative for direction (Wohin?), the verb pairs stellen/stehen, legen/liegen, setzen/sitzen and hängen, contractions such as ins, im, ans and am, and common learner errors. It suits A2 learners and teachers who need a quick, printable check.
Before the test, revise the basic rule: movement towards a place (Wohin?) takes the accusative, and location (Wo?) takes the dative. The test targets typical A2 errors, such as using the dative after stellen, legen or setzen, mixing up stehen and stellen, and confusing im/ins and am/ans. As a follow-up, ask learners to describe their room orally using both verb types. They could also do a 'tidy the room' role play: one student gives instructions (Leg das Buch auf den Tisch!) and another describes the result (Das Buch liegt auf dem Tisch).
