Common Mistakes

  • Quesadillas sind super schnell machen.

    The verb should stay in past participle form; avoid using 'machen' in infinitive after 'sind'.

  • Quesadillas werden super schnell gemacht sind.

    When emphasizing the process, you could also use 'werden', but with 'sind' the sentence is already correct; mixing both creates redundancy.

  • Quesadillas sind sehr schnell gemacht.

    If you want a more formal tone, replace 'super' with 'sehr' or omit the intensifier.

Alternatives

    Quesadillas can be prepared very quickly.

  • Man kann Quesadillas im Handumdrehen machen.

    You can make quesadillas in a flash.
