| Good quiz! I'm not unhappy with 13/25, as I haven't studied German since 1973. |

| Great quiz. Out of the 4 I got wrong, I can't believe I forgot machen! |

| mussen a verb? Isn't that an adverb? |
 | penguin0719: | Aug 5th, 2011 at 23:17 GMT | -1 points |
| Typically, German adverbs have -lich appended. "Müssen" is a helping verb. |
 | steel03: | Aug 6th, 2011 at 00:42 GMT | 7 points |
| Muessen is a modal verb. |

| A few of these are modals. Sollen and wollen are also modals. They are used in a manner similar to adverbs, but they also require conjugation the way most other verbs do. |

| Five years of German classes and I remember 2 verbs. I guess those classes were time well spent! |

| This quiz certainly had limited appeal. |

| lol 'to lie' is one of the most common verbs in German? Not sure what that's supposed to insinuate. |

| This quiz makes me sad for all the German I've forgotten. |
| steel03: | Aug 8th, 2011 at 17:04 GMT | 2 points |
| @creativespin - "Es liegt" means "it is" in some situations. Like if you want to say that Frankfurt is on the Oder River, you would say "Frankfurt liegt an der Oder," literally: "Frankfurt lies on the Oder." |
| grover173: | Aug 23rd, 2011 at 14:02 GMT | 1 point |
| @creativespin: not "to lie" as in "to tell a falsehood". That would be "lügen". "liegen" is "to lie [down]". |

| 17 out of 25 for a German native speaker... shame on me!
Ok, it's Swissgerman but still... that's definitely sporcelitis, took me quite a while to switch in to German mode.
So, I bow my head to all non-native speakers who scored 10 or more. |

| Very disappointed to see modals included. I (at first) assumed that only "actual" verbs were included. Shame on me I guess :} |

| really surprised "fahren" didn't make it onto the list |

| I'm not sure "werden" is a verb of itself. Isn't it just the future tense of "sein"? |
