✕Common Mistakes

  • Ich drucke die beste Route ausdrucken.

    Avoid using the infinitive form after the conjugated verb; the prefix must be separated.

  • Ich drucke das beste Route aus.

    ‘Route’ is feminine, so the article must be ‘die’, not ‘das’.

  • Ich drucke die bester Route aus.

    With a definite article and a feminine noun, the superlative ending is -e, not -er.

↔Alternatives
