Hints for this Quiz
Look for a polite recommendation, not a strict rule.
“sollen” = polite advice/recommendation. “müssen” = strict obligation, “dürfen” = permission, “können” = ability.
Think permission vs. prohibition.
After an injury, the rule is prohibition: “nicht dürfen” = not allowed.
Twice a day sounds like a strict rule.
Doctor’s clear instruction = obligation: “müssen”.
The patient needs permission to rest, not extreme action.
The doctor gives permission to stay at home: “dürfen … bleiben.”
Which option is gentle advice for recovery?
For recovery, the typical advice is “sollen” (recommendation).
It’s about permission, not ability.
“nicht dürfen” expresses prohibition (you are not allowed to drive).
The doctor allows it, but with a time limit.
Giving permission with a limit: “Sie dürfen …, aber …”.
