| 1. | Remember that “als” does not change the case of the noun following it (“als” is a conjunction, not a preposition). “Me” should really be “I”, as in the proper complete English sentence: You’re a better student than I am. |
| 2. | Like sentence one, “als” will not change the case of “you”. Also, “mehr” never adds adjective endings. |
| 3. | Like sentences 1 & 2, “als” is not changing the case of “you” here, but what case is “you” in the sentence “I know you”? |
| 4. | “Most” is a superlative form. Remember that in German superlatives either have a definite article before them (der/die/das), or occur in the “am ---sten” form. They have no standalone forms. |
| 5. | Remember that “most interesting” is merely the superlative form of “interesting.” |
| 6. | This is just like it sounds. What is “less”? Well, it’s the comparative form of “few”. |
| 7. | What is the phrase for “to be fun”? Hint: it’s NOT Spaß sein, it’s Spaß (x) . |
| 8. | Just to show you how ridiculous German adjective endings can get when used with comparatives. “Clean” = sauber, “cleaner” = sauberer, and add the correct ending for ein sauberer____ Junge. |
| 9. | Like sentences 1-3 above, “als” does not change the case of “you” here, but what case is “you” in the sentence “Mom gave you money”? |
