Cultural Tip
In German, the construction "Sind das …?" is very common for asking about a set of items. "Das" stays neuter regardless of the gender or number of the noun that follows, so the verb must agree with the actual noun (here, the plural "Sachen"). "Sachen" is informal; in formal writing you might prefer "Gegenstände" or "Dinge". Also, avoid mixing singular and plural forms – the verb, quantifier, and possessive must all match the plural noun.
