Hints for this Quiz
Look for a verb with no pronoun and no -t ending.
du-imperative: verb stem without a pronoun (optional -e). Sie-Form uses “Sie”. “Schneidet” is ihr (you plural). The infinitive is not an imperative.
Sie-Form always includes the word “Sie”. The separable prefix goes to the end.
Sie-imperative = infinitive + “Sie”. With separable verbs, the prefix goes to the end: “Heizen Sie … vor!”.
du-form = no pronoun, separable prefix “um” stays at the end.
du-imperative uses the verb stem (optionally with -e) and no pronoun: “Rühr … um.”
Polite instructions in recipes usually use “Sie”.
“Würzen Sie …” is the polite imperative. “Würze …” is du; “Würzt …” is ihr; “Würzen wir …” is a suggestion (let’s …).
Separable prefix (um-) goes to the sentence end in the imperative.
With separable verbs, the prefix goes to the end: “umrühren” → “Rühr … um.” Adverbs like “gut” stand before the prefix.
In du-imperatives of “lassen”, use “lass” + object + infinitive (“ruhen”).
du-imperative of “lassen” is “lass”. “Lasst …” is ihr; “Lassen Sie …” is Sie; “Du lässt …” is a statement, not an imperative.
Polite imperative = infinitive + Sie. Keep the separable prefix (“vor”) at the end.
Sie-imperative: “Heizen Sie … vor.” For negation, use “nicht”/“noch nicht” before the separable prefix; the prefix stays at the end.
Look for the form that addresses one person informally (no pronoun).
du-imperative: “Schneide …”. “Schneiden Sie …” is Sie; “Schneidet …” is ihr; the infinitive phrase is not an imperative.
