question 7
choose the sentence which does not reflect german word order:

a i know that the manager me fired has.
b the manager has me fired.
c i know that the manager has fired me.
d that the manager me fired has, know i.

Answer 1

1 d (just "promotion" is a noun, and has to be written "Promotion").

2 d (just "gewinn" is a noun, and has to be written "Gewinn". the same for "manager" : "Manager")

3 b (it depends on the type of sentence. for a regular explaining or telling sentence it is like in English

"I build a house" = "ich baue ein Haus". the verb is in the second meaningful position)

4 a. (again, similar to English. just the question in English starts with a helping verb like "are" or "is", while in German it also starts with the main verb)

5 d (I assume they mean the combination of helping verb and PPP of a verb to express present perfect like "ich habe meine Hausuebung gemacht" = " I have finished my homework).

6 a (the right German order would be "the workers came late to work)

7 c (the right German order would be 7a)
