Correct: 0/6

Yes/no → ob; verb goes to the end in the subordinate clause.

Use ob for yes/no questions and move the conjugated verb to the end of the clause.

Time question → wann; keep the verb at the end.

Use wann for time questions; in indirect questions the verb goes to the end. Wenn means “if/whenever,” not “when” in indirect questions.

Question word + clause with the verb at the end.

With wo, keep normal subordinate clause order: subject/object before the verb at the end.

Replace the yes/no with ob and send the verb to the end.

Yes/no → ob; the finite verb goes to the end inside the indirect question. Options 2–4 keep direct order or use the wrong question word.

Warum + subordinate clause with the verb at the end.

With warum, keep subordinate word order (verb at the end). Options 1 and 4 keep direct question order; 3 is ungrammatical.

Think: question word + verb at the end; no do-support in German.

Use the question word (wie lange) and subordinate word order with the verb at the end.
