Predicate Adjectives Exercises in German language

Learners exploring multilingual resources in library sections.

Understanding predicate adjectives in German is essential for mastering the language's nuances and expressing more complex ideas. Unlike attributive adjectives, which directly modify a noun, predicate adjectives follow a linking verb and describe the subject of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "Das Buch ist interessant" ("The book is interesting"), "interessant" functions as a predicate adjective. Grasping how these adjectives operate will not only enhance your fluency but also deepen your comprehension of sentence structure in German. In German, predicate adjectives are not inflected for gender, number, or case, which differentiates them from their attributive counterparts. This can simplify their usage, but it's crucial to understand their placement and the verbs they typically follow, such as "sein" (to be), "werden" (to become), and "bleiben" (to remain). Our exercises are designed to help you practice and internalize the correct use of predicate adjectives, offering a variety of sentences and contexts to ensure you gain confidence in applying this important grammatical element. Dive in and start refining your German skills through targeted practice with predicate adjectives!
