Infinitive with/without zu Exercises For German Grammar

In the German language, like in English, the infinitive form of a verb refers to the base form of the verb, essentially the dictionary form. However, an interesting facet of German grammar is the “Infinitive with/without zu”. This describes the concept of attaching the word “zu” (to) before the infinitive form of a verb in certain grammatical contexts, such as after certain verbs, adjectives or in particular clausal structures, thereby forming an infinitive clause. Understanding when to use and when to omit “zu” is vital, as misuse can lead to grammatical errors in sentence construction. These exercises are designed to reinforce your understanding and correct implementation of infinitives with and without “zu” in German grammar.
