Some Patterns to Note in This Quiz:
a
All the seasons are
masculine
(
Winter
,
Sommer
...), but the word for season is
feminine
(
Jahreszeit
), since the word for time,
Zeit
, forms the last part of the word.
b
Since the words for house and room are
neuter
, all derived words are also
neuter
:
das
Haus
-->
das Rathaus
,
das Krankenhaus
;
das Zimmer
-->
das Wohnzimmer
, etc.
c
All the words ending with
Hof
are masculine:
der Hof
(yard, ground/s),
der Schulhof
,
der Bahnhof
, etc.
d
All the words in this quiz on the subject of food are
neuter
. The head word,
das Essen
(food, meal) is an example of a hard and fast gender rule: whenever an infinitive verb is turned into a noun (and that kind of transformation is frequent), the resulting noun is
neuter:
eg.
das Lesen,
etc.
Consequently, the words ending in "
...essen
", such as types of foods and meals, are all neuter too.
