Exercise about compound nouns in German
Form the compound nouns as shown in the example. Add the definite article and pay attention to the capital letter of the compound noun.
Remember:
- The last word determines gender, number and case.
- Compound nouns can be built out of Noun + noun, Verb + noun, adjective/participle + noun, prepostion + noun.
- The junction between of two nouns is sometimes constructed by the plural of the first noun or with an additional -s/-es (especially nouns with the endings -keit, -heit, -schaft, -ung, -ion, -tät, -ling or -tum) for the first word.
In case of doubts, have a look into the course on compound nouns in German.
Example: das Kind + der Garten = der Kindergarten (kindergarden)
1) der Regen + der Schirm = (umbrella)
2) der Geburt + der Tag = (birthday)
3) der Tisch + die Decke = (tablecloth)
4) spielen + der Platz = (playground)
5) deutsch + die Lehrerin = (German teacher)
6) die Arbeit + die Zeit = (working hours)
7) alt + die Stadt = (historic center)
8) vor + der Ort = (suburb)
9) die Freundschaft + die Anfrage = (friends request)
10) warten + das Zimmer = (waiting room)

Hi, I am Ana! I am a professional language teacher! If you want to learn Romanian, English or German in an easy, fun and efficient way, you’ve... done the first step. I simply love teaching and I’m looking forward to sharing my enthusiasm for languages with you. I have experience in learning foreign languages, so I understand the challenge. I’ve started teaching Romanian as a foreign language in 2010 at the Faculty of Letters in Cluj-Napoca, Transylvania, and my teaching approach is really friendly and focused on all your needs. I have worked with people from all over the world and I know very well how to make the process of learning a language a very pleasant experience. I speak several languages (English, German, French, Spanish) and I keep learning some (Polish and Portuguese) so I am aware of how fun and also frustrating (at times) the process can be. For me, learning a language is like falling in love, you get to discover details and awesome facts about one culture and mentality. If you want to learn Romanian, English or German, I will make sure you will enjoy it! Read more
