For this A1 form-filling question, the five answers are Prag, 18. September, 20. September, 2, and 2 Nächte. If you got these, your information search was correct. Now let us look at the exact thinking so you can repeat it in the Goethe exam.

Teacher note 2

The trap: Dresden is not the Wohnort

Many students lose a mark because they see Dresden and write it as the Wohnort. But Wohnort means where someone lives, not where they travel. The text says Sie wohnen in Prag, so the answer is Prag. Dresden is the travel destination, not the place of residence.

  • Wohnort = where they live
  • Reiseziel = where they travel
  • In this question: Wohnort Prag, destination Dresden

Teacher note 3

Arrival and departure: look for an and ab

Anreisedatum means arrival date, and Abreisedatum means departure date. In the text, kommen ... an points to arrival, while fahren ... ab points to departure. These separable verbs are exam clues, so train your eyes to notice them quickly.

  • ankommen = to arrive
  • abfahren = to depart
  • Anreise = arrival, Abreise = departure

Teacher note 4

How to count people

The phrase Sie reisen zu zweit means they travel as two people. The question also says Herr und Frau Novak, which confirms the same idea. For Anzahl der Personen, write the number only: 2.

Teacher note 5

How to count nights

Do not count calendar days here. The form asks for Nächte. They arrive on Friday, 18 September, and leave on Sunday, 20 September. They sleep in the hotel on Friday night and Saturday night, so the answer is 2 Nächte.

  • Friday night = 1
  • Saturday night = 2
  • Sunday is departure day, not another night

Teacher note 6

Best exam strategy for this task

Read the labels first, then scan for matching words: Wohnort with wohnen, Anreisedatum with ankommen, Abreisedatum with abfahren, Personen with zu zweit, and Nächte with the arrival and departure dates. This is faster and safer than translating the whole paragraph.

How we found each answer

Scan word, source line, exam logic

Wohnort

Prag

Source text

Sie wohnen in Prag.

Wohnort means place of residence. Dresden is where they spend the weekend, but Prag is where they live.

Anreisedatum

18. September

Source text

Sie kommen am Freitag, dem achtzehnten September, an.

The separable verb ankommen means to arrive. That gives you the arrival date.

Abreisedatum

20. September

Source text

Sie fahren am Sonntag, dem zwanzigsten September, wieder ab.

The separable verb abfahren means to depart. That gives you the departure date.

Anzahl der Personen

2

Source text

Sie reisen zu zweit.

Zu zweit means two people together. Herr und Frau Novak confirms the number.

Anzahl der Nächte

2 Nächte

Source text

Sie kommen am Freitag, dem 18. September, an und fahren am Sonntag, dem 20. September, wieder ab.

Count the hotel nights, not the days: Friday night and Saturday night.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hotel-Anmeldung in Dresden a different question from Wohnungsbesichtigung in Köln?

Yes. Hotel-Anmeldung in Dresden is a hotel registration form. It tests Wohnort, arrival date, departure date, number of people, and number of nights.

Why is the Wohnort Prag and not Dresden?

Because the text says Sie wohnen in Prag. Dresden is the city they visit for the weekend, but Wohnort means where they live.

How do I calculate Anzahl der Nächte?

Count the nights spent in the hotel. From Friday arrival to Sunday departure, they stay Friday night and Saturday night, so the answer is 2 Nächte.
