The verb "ist" is used to express a temporary state or condition, while "hat" is used for possession and "sind" is used for plural subjects.

10. Ich ______ Angst!

Explanation

The correct answer is "habe" because in German, the verb "haben" is used to express possession or to indicate that someone has something.

Therefore, "habe" is the correct form of the verb to use in this context.

Submit
13. Ich höre schon Mr Kilpatricks Stimme. Sie _____ sehr laut.

Explanation

This one is a bit tricky. In German the word "die Stimme" is feminine, so when you are referring to Mr Kilpatrick's voice, you have to use "sie". It sounds kind of weird in English but in German it makes perfect sense. In this sentence "sie" means "it", so the correct konjugation of sein to use is "ist".

Submit
14. Wo _____ die anderen Schüler?

Explanation

The correct answer is "sind" because the question is asking about the location or whereabouts of the other students, which is a plural subject. "Sind" is the correct form of the verb "to be" for plural subjects in German.

Submit
15. ..., wenn jemand zu spät _____.

Explanation

The correct answer is "ist" because the sentence structure suggests that the verb should be in the present tense. "Ist" is the correct form of the verb "sein" (to be) in the present tense for the third person singular (he/she/it).
