Questions and Answers

1.

Translate 'I shall talk'. (praten)
- A.
  
  Ik zal praten
- B.
  
  Ik zullen praten
- C.
  
  Ik zal praat
Correct Answer
A. Ik zal praten

Explanation

Translate 'we shall listen'. (luisteren)
- A.
  
  We zal luisteren
- B.
  
  We zallen luisteren
- C.
  
  We zullen luisteren
Correct Answer
C. We zullen luisteren

Explanation
The correct answer is "We zullen luisteren." In Dutch, the verb "luisteren" (to listen) is conjugated differently depending on the subject pronoun. In this case, the subject pronoun "we" (we) requires the conjugation "zullen" (shall). Therefore, the correct translation of "we shall listen" is "We zullen luisteren."

Translate 'they shall make'. (maken)
- A.
  
  Ze zal maken
- B.
  
  Ze zullen maken
- C.
  
  Ze zullen maak
Correct Answer
B. Ze zullen maken

Explanation
The correct answer is "Ze zullen maken." This is the correct translation of "they shall make" in Dutch. The subject "ze" means "they" and the verb "zullen" means "shall" or "will." The infinitive form of the verb "maken" means "to make." Therefore, the correct translation is "Ze zullen maken."

Translate 'she shall fall'. (vallen)
- A.
  
  Ze zal vallen
- B.
  
  Ze zullen vallen
- C.
  
  Ze zal val
Correct Answer
A. Ze zal vallen

Explanation
The correct answer is "Ze zal vallen" because the question asks for the translation of "she shall fall" into Dutch. "Ze zal vallen" is the correct translation, as it means "she will fall" in English. The other options, "Ze zullen vallen" and "Ze zal val," do not accurately translate the given phrase.

5.

Translate 'you shall pay'. (betalen)
- A.
  
  Je zult betalen
- B.
  
  Je zal betalen
- C.
  
  Je zullen betalen
Correct Answer(s)
A. Je zult betalen
B. Je zal betalen

Explanation
The correct answer is "Je zult betalen" and "Je zal betalen" because both phrases mean "you shall pay" in Dutch. The word "je" means "you" and "zult" or "zal" means "shall" or "will". "Betalen" means "to pay". The use of "zult" or "zal" depends on the context or personal preference, as both are commonly used in the Dutch language. "Je zullen betalen" is incorrect because "zullen" is the plural form of "shall" and does not match with the singular "je".
