Notice that in each of these sentences, using the third person singular, the verb "tragen" requires an umlaut to be added to its stem. The verb "tragen" is a stem-changer, just like "lesen", "fahren" and "essen". So this is how the full conjugation of the verb looks:
ich trage
du trägst
er/sie trägt
wir tragen
ihr tragt
sie tragenRate this question:

Fill in the correct verb in the sentence below, so that the sentence means:I am wearing a jumper.Remember that with "ich", the conjugation of the verb is VERB STEM + -eIch _________ einen Pulli.
Correct Answer
trageExplanation
The correct verb to fill in the blank is "trage." This is because when conjugating verbs with the pronoun "ich" (meaning "I" in English), the verb stem remains the same and the ending "-e" is added. In this case, the verb stem is "trag" and the ending "-e" is added to form "trage." Therefore, the sentence "Ich trage einen Pulli" translates to "I am wearing a jumper."Rate this question:

Fill in the missing word, so that the German sentence below means:The woman is wearing a blouse.Die Frau trägt eine ___________.
Correct Answer
BluseExplanation
The German sentence "Die Frau trägt eine Bluse" translates to "The woman is wearing a blouse." Therefore, the missing word in the sentence is "Bluse."Rate this question:
- 17.
Write the German sentence for: The man is wearing a jumper.Hints: The "jumper" is masculine, so you will need the accusative: "einen" for "a".If you cannot type an umlaut, you can type the letter that would take an umlaut normally and add an umlaut directly after it: e.g. "trägt" would be typed "traegt". This is a widely accepted alternative.
Correct Answer
Der Mann trägt einen Pulli., Der Mann trägt einen Pulli, Der Mann traegt einen Pulli., Der Mann traegt einen Pulli, Der Mann trägt einen Pullover., Der Mann trägt einen Pullover, Der Mann traegt einen Pullover., Der Mann traegt einen PulloverExplanation
The correct answer is "Der Mann trägt einen Pulli." This sentence correctly translates to "The man is wearing a jumper" in German. The word "Pulli" is the German word for "jumper" and is in the accusative case, which is why "einen" is used before it. The sentence is also grammatically correct with the verb "trägt" (wearing) matching the subject "Mann" (man).Rate this question:
