Hints for this Quiz
Use comparative + als for two items.
Compare two items with the comparative + als. Apples are cheaper than pears.
Superlative = am + Adjektiv-sten.
With three or more items, use the superlative with am + -sten: am günstigsten.
Weil = reason (verb to the end); deshalb = result (main clause).
Deshalb introduces a result in a main clause (Verb in position 2).
After weil, the verb goes to the end.
Weil introduces the reason and pushes the conjugated verb to the end of the clause.
Check verb position after weil and in main clause.
Only the first sentence has correct word order: weil + verb at the end; the main clause follows.
Look for the lowest price when you see am + -sten.
Links = A, Mitte = B, Rechts = C.
Among three, the lowest price is expressed with the superlative: Brot B ist am günstigsten.
billiger als = cheaper than.
Links = Äpfel, Mitte = Orangen, Rechts = Trauben.
1,99 < 2,99, so oranges are cheaper than apples.
Result = deshalb + Verb in position 2.
This is the result (I take tea), so use deshalb in a main clause.
Use teurer als if the first item costs more.
2,49 € > 1,59 €, so use teurer als.
Only am + Adjektiv-sten is correct for the superlative.
Superlative with adverbs/adjectives uses am + -sten: am günstigsten.
