Spelling & Grammar – Quick Check!

We all know that spelling can be tricky. How are we supposed to remember it all? And then there's grammar on top of that, as if one wasn’t enough.

So here’s a top list from us for you: with the most common cases where we all tend to struggle or doubt our abilities. ;)

P.S.: "Dass" is always in a subordinate clause, and (almost always) follows a comma. So unless the sentence starts with the subordinate clause (which is very rare), "dass" will never, never, never be at the start of a sentence.

Our tip: If you can place the definite article "der" in front of the word, it ends with "d".

Trick: the "l" is higher than the other letters, so it’s different from the others – that’s why "als" is used for unequal things. And by the way, "als wie" doesn’t exist. :)

Tip: If you're unsure, try replacing the word with "seitdem" – if that works, then it’s always "seit".

Here's another overview for you, when it comes to tricky letter swaps or favorite silent letters. Top list of correct spelling:

Wrong	Right
der/die/das Einzigste	der/die/das Einzige
Gang und gebe	Gang und gäbe
desweiteren	des Weiteren
immernoch	immer noch
wiederlich	widerlich
Ergebniss	Ergebnis
agressiv	aggressiv
nähmlich	nämlich
Gallerie	Galerie

ausversehen	aus Versehen
Reperatur	Reparatur
Rhythmus	Rythmus

Standart	Standard
Sylvester	Silvester
Orginal	Original
brilliant	brillant
wieviel	wie viel

Now you’re perfectly prepared when it comes to correct spelling, and definitely ahead in grammar too.

Good luck to you!
