✕Common Mistakes
Benutzen alle deine Gutscheine.
‘Benutzen’ is the infinitive; the imperative for ‘du’ drops the ending to become ‘Benutz’.
Benutz alle deinen Gutscheine.
‘Deinen’ is accusative masculine singular; the correct form for plural nouns is ‘deine’.
Benutz alle deine Gutschein.
Singular ‘Gutschein’ would refer to only one voucher; the sentence talks about multiple vouchers, so use the plural ‘Gutscheine’.

Cultural Tip
In everyday German the -e of the du‑imperative is often omitted, so ‘Benutz’ sounds natural and informal. If you need a formal tone, switch to ‘Benutzen Sie alle Ihre Gutscheine.’ Also, Germans love coupons, but it’s polite to ask before using someone else’s vouchers.
