Common Mistakes

  • Ja, alle Aufgaben haben zugewiesen.

    Passive voice with a past participle uses 'sein', not 'haben'.

  • Ja, alle Aufgabe ist zugewiesen.

    The noun must stay plural because 'alle' refers to many items.

  • Ja, alle Aufgaben ist zugewiesen.

    The participle must agree with the auxiliary verb; 'zugewiesen' is correct with 'sind'.

Alternatives

  • Ja, alle Aufgaben wurden zugewiesen.

    Yes, all tasks were assigned.

  • Ja, jede Aufgabe ist zugewiesen.

    Yes, each task is assigned.

  • Ja, die Aufgaben sind bereits verteilt.

    Yes, the tasks are already distributed.

Cultural Tip

German business communication tends to be direct and concise. Using the passive construction 'sind zugewiesen' sounds formal and neutral, which is preferred in written reports and formal meetings. In casual conversation you might simply say 'Alle Aufgaben sind erledigt' (All tasks are done) or 'Alle Aufgaben sind verteilt'.
