The self-grading, 20-item exercise below relates to our two previous features on adjective endings: Part I (Nominative) and Part II (Accusative/Dative). If you are not completely sure about the German adjective endings in the nominative, accusative, and dative cases (with a definite or indefinite article), then you should review those guidelines before attempting the following exercises. In giving your answers to the 20 questions, remember to pay attention to these three important factors: case, number, and gender!
Click the button next to the answer you want. When you reach the bottom of the exercise you'll be able to find out your percentage score. The answers will be listed in the scroll box just below the "Get Score" button, but you might want to avoid the answers if you got less than 100%, and try again until you get it right. (You're the only one who will know your score, so it doesn't make much sense to cheat.) Also see the annotated answer key for this quiz (below).
HINT: If you want to revise your answers after getting your score, don't use the "Clear" button unless you want to re-mark all the answers. Just change the answers you think need changingthen click on the "Get Score" button again. But no peeking at the answers!
