Notes for teachers
Use this test after teaching relative pronouns in all cases, or as a diagnostic before revising the topic. It targets common errors. These include using the nominative form when the accusative or dative is needed, using den or die instead of denen and der, confusing dessen and deren, using das instead of was after alles or superlatives, and putting the verb in second position instead of at the end. As a follow-up, students can describe classmates or objects in the room using relative clauses. Another option is to join pairs of simple sentences into one sentence with a relative clause.
