Exercise 2: Multiple Choice
Instruction:
Choose the grammatically correct variant that expresses an intention or purpose using 'damit' or 'um ... zu'. Pay close attention to the verb word order in the sentence and the subject of the main clause.
1.
'damit' requires the conjugated verb to be at the end of the clause; here the modal verb 'can' is missing.
'um ... zu' requires the infinitive form, not a subordinate clause with a conjugated verb.
2.
After 'damit' follows a subordinate clause with a conjugated verb at the end; here an infinitive is incorrectly used.
'um ... zu' must be used with the infinitive; here a subordinate clause with a conjugated verb is incorrectly formed.
3.
'um ... zu' requires the infinitive; it is missing here, and the subject must be the same as in the main clause.
With 'damit' the verb always comes at the end of the clause; here the word order is incorrect.
4.
'um ... zu' requires an infinitive construction; here, a subordinate clause is incorrectly inserted.
'damit' requires a subordinate clause with the verb at the end, not an infinitive with 'zu'.
Exercise 3: Rewrite the phrases
Instruction:
Connect the sentences and express a goal or intention. Rewrite using “damit” or “um ... zu” (pay attention to word order and subject).
