German Grammar Test: Subordinate Clauses

This subordinate clauses test covers word order after weil, dass, ob, wenn, obwohl and time conjunctions, compound forms and separable verbs. All sentences and answer options are in German. Choose one correct answer from four options in each of the 25 questions. Each correct answer earns 1 point, for a maximum of 25. Pay attention to meaning and to the grammatical relationships between words. Take the test without a dictionary or grammar reference to check your own knowledge. A score of 0–14 is below this test’s pass mark; 15–21 is a pass with some areas to review; 22–25 is a strong result. Your score applies to the grammar tested here and does not establish your overall German proficiency level.
