Revision activities / German study practice
Learning focus: Grammar. This original Grade 11 German exercise gives you a task, a suggested response and a follow-up challenge. It is classroom practice, not an official assessment paper.
Understand the idea
German present-tense endings depend on the subject, and some verbs change their stem. Start with a regular verb before comparing irregular patterns.
Try the activity
Complete: ich ___ in Nairobi; wir ___ in Nairobi, using wohnen.
Attempt your response before opening the guidance. Show the steps, textual evidence or reasons that support your answer; a final answer alone may hide a misunderstanding.

Show suggested answer and reasoning
Ich wohne in Nairobi and Wir wohnen in Nairobi. The first-person singular uses wohne, while wir uses wohnen.
Follow-up challenge
Write the same pair using lernen. Then use a class reference to compare lesen and explain why applying a regular pattern without checking can be wrong.
Review your work
- Did you answer the question actually asked?
- Can you explain the method or evidence in your own words?
- What would you change if one condition in the task changed?
Use the suggested response to identify one correction, then attempt the task again without copying it. For an open-ended question, other well-supported answers may be reasonable. Ask your teacher to check interpretations or language forms where needed.
