Use this test after introducing Nomen-Verb-Verbindungen as typical features of formal and written German. It targets common learner errors such as using 'machen' instead of 'treffen', 'ziehen' or 'ausüben', and mixing up the prepositions 'in', 'zu' and 'auf' in fixed phrases. As a follow-up, ask students to rewrite sentences from Part 2 with the simple verb (e.g. 'Stellung nehmen' → 'sich äußern') and discuss the change in register.
