You can always click on the "I give up, show me the answers" button in orderto study the genders before tackling each set of 10 nouns.

Some Patterns to Note in This Quiz:

a All the seasons are masculine (Winter, Sommer...), but the word for season isfeminine (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 alsoneuter: 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), derSchulhof, der Bahnhof, etc.

d All the words in this quiz on the subject of food are neuter. The head word, dasEssen (food, meal) is an example of a hard and fast gender rule: whenever aninfinitive verb is turned into a noun (and that kind of transformation isfrequent), the resulting noun is neuter: eg. das Lesen, etc. Consequently, thewords ending in "...essen", such as types of foods and meals, are all neuter too.
