Deutsch C1: Nomen-Verb-Verbindungen (Quiz)

Today at Deutsch Plus, we're focusing on noun-verb combinations. I've already made several videos on this topic. There are simply so many noun-verb combinations, that I could easily include another 20 as well. In this video, I focus on noun-verb combinations for the C1 level. All the examples appearing here I found in textbooks for the C1 level. And to keep things from getting too boring for you, let's turn the whole thing into a quiz. This means you will first receive a sentence in which the verb is missing. You must use this. Then let's examine the entire noun-verb combination along with its meaning. And then I'll give you a second example. Here we go. We start with a simple example to warm up. Max was no poet. It was difficult for him to put his feelings into words. What belongs in the blank? A. Pouring, B. Holding, C. Bringing, or D. Shaping? The correct answer is B. Fassen. It was difficult for him to put his feelings into words. The noun-verb combination is therefore called "to put something into words." And I believe the meaning is clear to you. To express something verbally, to formulate thoughts, feelings, or impressions. Here is another example sentence. Sandra was overwhelmed. She could hardly put her joy into words. Next task. During the internship, she made many new contacts. Which verb form must we use here? Met, created, built, or connected? The correct answer is D. Tied. The noun-verb combination is called "making contacts." And that means establishing connections with other people or getting to know people, which could be important professionally or personally. Here is another example sentence. He is a reserved person. He finds it difficult to make contacts. Onward we go, and now it's getting a bit more difficult. After some setbacks, Marvin was able to get back on his feet professionally. What's up? a. grasp b. win c. set or d. to set up The correct answer is A. After some setbacks, Marvin was able to regain his professional footing. What does that mean now, to get one's footing? This noun-verb combination has various meanings. First and foremost, it stands for arriving somewhere, literally in a new place, or even professionally. She also calls it social or professional integration. to find one's way around in a new situation. It can also mean achieving stability or celebrating initial successes. Here is another example sentence for better understanding. The entrepreneur was also able to establish his company abroad. Here comes the next sentence. In the 1950s, television made its way into many German households. a. won b. shoved c. celebrated or d. meant The correct answer here is D. The sentence is correct. In the 1950s, television sets entered many German households. To hold entry means the noun-verb combination. To take hold means to be introduced and to spread. come into use or come into fashion to establish oneself become common or generally accepted Let us also look at a second example sentence here. Tablets have long since made their way into classrooms. Onward we go. The boss couldn't pay any more salary. but they … concessions regarding the home office days. made, gave, granted, or bestowed Here, it is indeed the neutral verb "machen." The boss made concessions. The noun-verb combination is therefore "making concessions." Making concessions means entering into compromises. to accommodate someone, to give in or allow or permit something in order to reach an agreement. This noun-verb combination therefore describes the readiness to To accept demands from the opposing side and set aside a few of my own interests. Here is a second example sentence. In the dispute over cost coverage The politician will not make any concessions. We'll continue with the next sentence. The new data? The basis for a new law. legislate, create, develop, or establish The correct answer here is B, "schaffen." The new data provide the foundation for a new law. The noun-verb combination is therefore called "to lay the foundation." or lay the foundation, and that means Create the conditions necessary for something to arise or succeed. One can also say lay the foundation. This foundation is then usually the first important step. Here is another example sentence. The course is intended to provide a foundation for professional reorientation. Next sentence. The video recordings? As proof of the theft. Which verb form fits here? serve, be useful, be suitable, or be available The correct answer is A. The video recordings serve as evidence of the theft. As evidence means something is used to prove something. as well as to confirm the accuracy of a fact. As always, let's look at a second example sentence. The results of the study serve as proof of the medication's effectiveness. Onward we go. These data raise the question of whether our research so far has gone in the wrong direction. You see, here a separable verb is required. So what needs to go in the blanks here? C. Setzen um or D. Heben an. Correct is A. Throwing on. The sentence reads, these data raise the question of, whether our research so far has gone in the wrong direction. to raise a question or questions raise an important point that one must reflect upon. Make a problem visible. They also contain the meanings of providing a reason to ask questions or to doubt. or make clarification necessary. Here is another example. This incident raises questions about the safety of the demo participants. In the following sentence, one more noun-verb combination is still sought, which you should know. Both were shy, but then she took the initiative and spoke to him. Names, found, seized, or grasped. The correct answer is C. But then she took the initiative and spoke to him. Taking the initiative means actively stepping forward oneself, Don't wait, start and act yourself. Here is our second example sentence. No one seemed willing to organize the class reunion. Then Armin took the initiative. As mentioned, there are already several videos on this topic on my channel. in the same manner as well.
