German level 2 is kinda hard... May be I'm not too used too it... hahaha!!! Always doing silly and careless mistakes when comes to online quiz. By right should be 'sie trifft' and I chose 'sie triffst'... =.= sweat!!!

Modal verbs were kinda problematic... zzz.. problem child!!! hahaha!!! There are 7 modal verbs in German language, which consist of koennen(to be able to), moegen(to like), moechten(would like), sollen(should), wollen(want), dueften(to be allowed to), and muessen(to have to). Each of the modal verbs will change accordingly to the tenses that we are using. Past tense and present tense have different changes.

Past perfect tense was kinda fun, but it CAN'T BE USED in English. E.g Was machen Sie gestern? (What did you do yesterday?) Gestern, habe ich Fussball gespielt. (Yesterday, I have played football). For usual english, normally we will say, Yesterday I played football. German has past tense, but they rarely used it. What they used is the past perfect tense.

Subconjunction is just like 'if', 'because' ,' whether'.... In german, there are two words for because, denn and weil. If you were to use denn, then the sentence structure will go accordingly to the law (1st or 3rd place will be the subject and the 2nd place will be the verb). But if you were to use weil, then the sentence structure will go haywire. E.g Ich kann leider nicht kommen, weil ich keine Zeit habe. In english, it would be, I can not come, because I no time have). Note that the 'habe' is at the end of the sentence, compare to the normal sentence, Ich kann leider nicht kommen, denn ich habe keine Zeit.

Changes of the adjectives, another problem child. The word schoen means beautiful, but when the sentence has either the definite or indefinite article behind of schoen, at least, you must add an 'e' to the schoen, schoene. E.g. Ich habe eine schoene Tasche. (Tasche is a feminine word, means bag) Another example would be, Ich habe einen alten Tisch. (Tisch is a masculine word, means table) The word alt is in the accusative position, and it has an indefinite article, and it has a masculine noun, so have to add 'en' to the alt. zzzzz......

Ok, that's the only beginning of german language, more to come....
