Exercise 2: Multiple Choice
Instruction:
Choose the correct form with 'zu' + infinitive related to future plans or intentions from the following sentences. Pay special attention to separable verbs and the position of 'zu'.
1.
After verbs like ‘planen’, the ‘zu’ must be placed before the infinitive; here the ‘zu’ is missing.
The ‘zu’ must come before the infinitive, not at the end of the sentence.
2.
With separable verbs, ‘zu’ stands between the prefix and the verb, so it’s ‘aufzuräumen’, not ‘zu aufzuräumen’.
The word order is incorrect; ‘aufzuräumen’ with ‘zu’ must come after the object.
3.
‘Zu’ must be immediately before the infinitive, not at the end of the sentence.
‘Zu’ is incorrectly placed before the preposition ‘mit’; the correct order must be observed.
4.
‘Zu’ must be placed before the infinitive, not at the end of the sentence.
A double ‘zu’ is incorrect; only one ‘zu’ immediately before the infinitive is correct.
Exercise 3: Rewrite the phrases
Instruction:
Rewrite the sentences using a suitable verb + zu + infinitive (for separable verbs place “zu” between the prefix and the stem).
