✕Common Mistakes

  • Probier es jeder Monat aus.

    ‘jeder’ is nominative; after ‘Probier … aus’ the noun is accusative, so it must be ‘jeden Monat’.

  • Probieren es jeden Monat aus.

    The verb ‘probieren’ must be conjugated to the imperative ‘Probier’ (du) or ‘Probieren Sie’ (Sie).

  • Probier es jeden Monat.

    The separable prefix ‘aus’ cannot be omitted; without it the meaning changes to ‘try it’ rather than ‘try it out’.

↔Alternatives

  • Versuch es jeden Monat.

    Try it every month.

  • Teste es monatlich.

    Test it monthly.

  • Mach es jeden Monat.

    Do it every month.

  • Probieren Sie es jeden Monat aus.

    Try it out every month. (formal)

Cultural Tip

‘Probier’ is informal (du). In a business or formal context you would switch to the Sie‑form: ‘Probieren Sie es jeden Monat aus.’ Also, Germans often use ‘jeden Monat’ to talk about regular monthly activities – it sounds natural and precise. Remember that the separable prefix ‘aus’ always goes to the end of the clause in the imperative.
