Question 21Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Choose the correct accusative form to complete the sentence: 'Vidím ___.' (I see a big dog.) (Grammar: accusative case)

  1. velký pes
  2. velkého psa Correct answer.
  3. velké psy
  4. velký pse

Explanation

The accusative singular of animate masculine nouns changes the ending: 'pes' (nominative) becomes 'psa' in the accusative. The adjective 'velký' also changes to 'velkého' in the animate masculine accusative singular. 'Vidím' (I see) governs the accusative case.

Question 22Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Choose the correct locative form: 'Bydlím v ___.' (I live in Prague.) (Grammar: locative case)

  1. Praha
  2. Prahu
  3. Praze Correct answer.
  4. Prahy

Explanation

After the preposition 'v' (in) expressing location, Czech requires the locative case. 'Praha' becomes 'Praze' in the locative singular (the -ha ending changes to -ze). This is a standard A2-level grammar pattern for Czech cities.

Question 23Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Choose the correct present tense form: 'Oni ___.' (They speak Czech.) (Grammar: present tense conjugation)

  1. mluvím česky
  2. mluví česky Correct answer.
  3. mluvíme česky
  4. mluvíš česky

Explanation

The verb 'mluvit' (to speak) conjugates as: já mluvím, ty mluvíš, on/ona mluví, my mluvíme, vy mluvíte, oni mluví. For 'oni' (they), the correct form is 'mluví'. This is a type-2 verb (-ím/-íš pattern).

Question 24Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Choose the correct possessive pronoun: '___ bratr bydlí v Brně.' (Her brother lives in Brno.) (Grammar: possessive pronouns)

  1. Jeho
  2. Její Correct answer.
  3. Jejich
  4. Naše

Explanation

'Její' is the possessive pronoun for 'her' when the possessed noun is masculine. 'Jeho' = his/its, 'Jejich' = their, 'Naše' = our (feminine/neuter form). Since the subject is female and 'bratr' (brother) is masculine, 'její' is correct.

Question 25Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Choose the correct aspect pair for a completed action: 'Včera jsem ___ dopis.' (Yesterday I wrote a letter - completed.) (Grammar: verbal aspect)

  1. psát
  2. napsal/napsala Correct answer.
  3. píšu
  4. psal/psala

Explanation

'Napsal/napsala' is the perfective past tense of 'napsat' (to write - perfective), indicating a completed action. 'Psát' is the imperfective infinitive. 'Píšu' is present tense. 'Psal/psala' is the imperfective past used for ongoing or repeated writing, not a single completed letter.

Question 26Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this message: 'Koupil jsem si nový telefon. Stál mě skoro deset tisíc korun.' How much did the phone cost? (Reading: numbers and money)

  1. Almost 1,000 crowns
  2. Almost 10,000 crowns Correct answer.
  3. Exactly 10,000 crowns
  4. About 100,000 crowns

Explanation

'Skoro deset tisíc korun' means 'almost ten thousand crowns' (nearly 10,000 Kč). 'Skoro' = almost/nearly, 'deset' = ten, 'tisíc' = thousand. The word 'skoro' indicates it was slightly under 10,000.

Question 27Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this text: 'Můj otec pracuje jako řidič. Každý den vstává v pět ráno a vrací se domů odpoledne.' What is the father's job? (Reading: work vocabulary)

  1. A doctor
  2. A driver Correct answer.
  3. A teacher
  4. A cook

Explanation

'Pracuje jako řidič' means 'works as a driver'. The text also mentions he wakes up at 5 am every day and returns home in the afternoon - a typical schedule for a professional driver.

Question 28Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this notice on a train: 'Tento vlak zastavuje pouze na stanicích Pardubice, Olomouc a Ostrava.' Where does the train NOT stop? (Reading: transport notices)

  1. Pardubice
  2. Ostrava
  3. Brno Correct answer.
  4. Olomouc

Explanation

The notice says the train stops ONLY at Pardubice, Olomouc, and Ostrava ('zastavuje pouze na stanicích...'). Brno is not listed among the stops, so the train does not stop there.

Question 29Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Choose the correct form: 'Mluvím ___ svou matkou každý den.' (I speak with my mother every day.) (Grammar: instrumental/prepositions)

  1. s Correct answer.
  2. bez
  3. do
  4. na

Explanation

'S' (with) + instrumental case is used for accompaniment in Czech. 'Mluvit s někým' means 'to speak with someone'. The preposition 's' followed by the instrumental 'svou matkou' (my mother) is the correct construction.

Question 30Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this text: 'Jana má ráda sport. Hraje tenis a plave třikrát týdně.' How often does Jana swim? (Reading: frequency expressions)

  1. Once a week
  2. Twice a week
  3. Three times a week Correct answer.
  4. Every day

Explanation

'Třikrát týdně' means 'three times a week'. 'Třikrát' = three times, 'týdně' = per week/weekly. Jana both plays tennis and swims three times per week.

Question 31Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this short text: 'Každé ráno piji kávu a čtu noviny. To je moje rutina.' What does this person do every morning? (Reading: daily routines)

  1. They drink tea and listen to the radio
  2. They drink coffee and read the newspaper Correct answer.
  3. They exercise and have breakfast
  4. They go for a walk and drink juice

Explanation

'Piji kávu' = 'I drink coffee'. 'Čtu noviny' = 'I read the newspaper'. Together, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper form this person's morning 'rutina' (routine).

Question 32Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this form field: 'Státní příslušnost:' followed by a blank. What should be entered? (Reading: forms)

  1. Occupation
  2. Nationality/citizenship Correct answer.
  3. Marital status
  4. Educational level

Explanation

'Státní příslušnost' means 'nationality' or 'citizenship/state affiliation'. 'Státní' = state (adjective), 'příslušnost' = affiliation/belonging. This is a standard field on Czech immigration and official forms.

Question 33Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Choose the correct Czech translation of 'on Thursdays': (Grammar: day expressions)

  1. v čtvrtek
  2. ve čtvrtek
  3. ve čtvrtky Correct answer.
  4. ve čtvrtek ráno

Explanation

To express habitual or repeated action on a day of the week, Czech uses the accusative plural form: 'čtvrtky' is the plural accusative of 'čtvrtek'. So 'I go swimming on Thursdays' = 'Ve čtvrtky chodím plavat'. 'Ve čtvrtek' means 'on (this) Thursday' - a specific single occurrence.

Question 34Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this text: 'Pavel je nemocný. Leží doma a nesmí jít do práce.' What is Pavel doing? (Reading: health vocabulary)

  1. He is on holiday
  2. He is resting at home because he is ill Correct answer.
  3. He is working from home
  4. He is in hospital

Explanation

'Je nemocný' = 'he is ill/sick'. 'Leží doma' = 'he is lying (in bed) at home'. 'Nesmí jít do práce' = 'he must not go to work'. Pavel is sick and resting at home, not allowed to go to work.

Question 35Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Choose the correct sentence using the correct Czech word order for 'She always drinks tea in the morning.': (Grammar: word order)

  1. Ráno vždy pije čaj. Correct answer.
  2. Vždy čaj pije ráno.
  3. Čaj vždy ráno pije.
  4. Pije ráno čaj vždy.

Explanation

Czech places adverbs of frequency like 'vždy' (always) before the verb in the second position of the clause. 'Ráno vždy pije čaj' = 'In the morning she always drinks tea.' The time adverbial 'ráno' can come first, 'vždy' before the verb, and 'čaj' after the verb is natural.

Question 36Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this notice: 'Všichni nájemníci jsou povinni třídit odpad. Kontejnery jsou na dvoře.' What are all tenants required to do? (Reading: notices/housing)

  1. Pay rent by the 1st of the month
  2. Sort their rubbish/waste Correct answer.
  3. Keep noise down after 10 pm
  4. Register their guests

Explanation

'Jsou povinni třídit odpad' means 'are required/obliged to sort waste'. 'Třídit' = to sort, 'odpad' = waste/rubbish. 'Kontejnery jsou na dvoře' = 'containers are in the yard'. This notice about recycling/waste sorting is common in Czech apartment buildings.

Question 37Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Choose the correct negative form: 'Já ___ ryby.' (I don't eat fish.) (Grammar: negation)

  1. nejím Correct answer.
  2. neím
  3. nejsem jím
  4. ním

Explanation

In Czech, negation is formed by adding the prefix 'ne-' directly to the verb. 'Jíst' (to eat, 1st person: 'jím') becomes 'nejím' (I don't eat). This applies to all Czech verbs.

Question 38Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this text: 'Naše rodina je velká. Mám rodiče, dva bratry a sestru. Babička s dědou bydlí blízko.' How many siblings does the writer have? (Reading: family)

  1. One
  2. Two
  3. Three Correct answer.
  4. Four

Explanation

'Dva bratry' = two brothers, 'sestru' = one sister. Total siblings = two brothers + one sister = three siblings. 'Rodiče' are parents, 'babička s dědou' are grandparents who live nearby.

Question 39Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this notice: 'Pozor! Čerstvě natřeno.' What does this sign warn you about? (Reading: signs/notices)

  1. Wet floor
  2. Freshly painted surface Correct answer.
  3. Hot surface
  4. Slippery steps

Explanation

'Čerstvě natřeno' means 'freshly painted'. 'Čerstvě' = freshly/recently, 'natřeno' = painted (past participle passive of 'natřít' = to paint/coat). This is the standard Czech warning sign found on freshly painted surfaces.

Question 40Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Choose the correct comparative form: 'Praha je ___ než Brno.' (Prague is bigger than Brno.) (Grammar: comparatives)

  1. velký
  2. větší Correct answer.
  3. největší
  4. velká

Explanation

'Větší' is the comparative form of 'velký' (big) in Czech, meaning 'bigger'. Comparatives in Czech are formed with '-ší' or '-ejší' endings. 'Největší' would be the superlative ('biggest'). 'Než' = 'than'.

Question 41Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this email: 'Ahoj Martine, mám zájem o byt. Mohli bychom se sejít v pátek odpoledne? Jana.' What is Jana proposing? (Reading: email/arrangements)

  1. That Martin visits her at home
  2. Meeting on Friday afternoon Correct answer.
  3. A phone call on Friday morning
  4. That Martin sends photos of the flat

Explanation

'Mohli bychom se sejít' means 'could we meet'. 'V pátek odpoledne' means 'on Friday afternoon'. Jana is interested in the flat ('zájem o byt') and proposes meeting on Friday afternoon to see it.

Question 42Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this text: 'Supermarket je otevřen denně od 7 do 22 hodin, včetně svátků.' When is the supermarket open on public holidays? (Reading: opening hours/notices)

  2. Only in the morning on public holidays
  3. Open daily from 7 to 22, including public holidays Correct answer.
  4. Open only from 10 to 18 on public holidays

Explanation

'Denně od 7 do 22 hodin, včetně svátků' means 'daily from 7 to 22 hours, including (public) holidays'. 'Včetně' = 'including', 'svátků' = 'holidays/feasts' (genitive plural of 'svátek'). The supermarket maintains the same hours every day including holidays.

Question 43Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Choose the correct form of the verb 'jít' (to go on foot): 'Každý den ___ do školy pěšky.' (I go to school on foot every day.) (Grammar: present tense of motion verbs)

  1. jde
  2. jdou
  3. jdu Correct answer.
  4. jdeme

Explanation

'Jdu' is the first person singular present of 'jít' (to go on foot). Conjugation: já jdu, ty jdeš, on/ona jde, my jdeme, vy jdete, oni jdou. The subject is 'já' (I, implied), so 'jdu' is the correct form.

Question 44Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this sentence: 'Žiji v České republice ___ pět let.' (I have been living in the Czech Republic for five years.) Choose the correct preposition. (Grammar: time prepositions)

  1. před
  2. za
  3. po
  4. již/už Correct answer.

Explanation

To express duration of an ongoing action in Czech, 'již/už' (already) is often used with the present tense, or more precisely, the preposition 'po' is NOT standard for duration. 'Žiji v České republice již pět let' (I have been living in the CR for five years already) is the natural expression using present tense + 'již/už'.

Question 45Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this text: 'Do České republiky jsem přijel/přijela před dvěma lety. Teď umím česky trochu lépe.' What does the writer say about their Czech now? (Reading: language progress)

  3. They are now fluent in Czech
  4. They have forgotten all Czech

Explanation

'Teď umím česky trochu lépe' means 'now I know/speak Czech a little better'. 'Teď' = now, 'trochu lépe' = a little better. This describes gradual language improvement after two years in the Czech Republic.

  2. By the 1st of each month Correct answer.
  3. By the last day of each month
  4. Quarterly

Explanation

'Do prvního každého měsíce' means 'by the first of each month'. 'Do' here means 'by/until', 'prvního' is the genitive of 'první' (first), 'každého měsíce' = 'of each month'. This is a standard rental payment deadline in Czech tenancy agreements.

Question 47Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this text: 'Moje česká kamarádka mi pomáhá s češtinou. Je velmi trpělivá.' What does the friend help with? (Reading: language learning)

  1. Finding a job
  2. Learning Czech Correct answer.

  1. Kolik Correct answer.
  2. Kdy
  3. Kde
  4. Jak

Explanation

'Kolik' is the Czech question word meaning 'how much' or 'how many'. 'Kolik stojí?' = 'How much does it cost?' This is an essential A2-level question word for shopping, transport, and everyday transactions.

Question 49Czech reading, contextual language and source interpretation

Read this text: 'Česká republika má přes deset milionů obyvatel. Hlavní město je Praha.' How many inhabitants does the Czech Republic have? (Reading: geography facts)

  1. Over one million
  2. Over ten million Correct answer.
  3. About five million
  4. Exactly ten million

Explanation
