Funktionsverbgefüge: C1 Exercises on Noun–Verb Combinations

In a Funktionsverbgefüge the meaning comes largely from the noun, while the verb is almost empty: "in Frage stellen" (to question), "zur Verfügung stehen" (to be available), "in Betracht ziehen" (to take into consideration). Here "stellen" or "ziehen" does not carry the actual meaning on its own; the structure is learnt as a whole and is tied to the right preposition. They often correspond to a single verb (for example "bezweifeln" instead of "in Frage stellen"), but sound more formal and abstract. That is why you meet them often in academic texts, official correspondence and argumentative essays; building the right preposition–noun–verb combination is one of the typical challenges at C1.

📌
Golden rule: In a Funktionsverbgefüge the noun carries the meaning and the verb is almost empty: in Frage stellen, zur Verfügung stehen.

Every question gives you instant feedback with an explanation: if you choose the wrong preposition or a verb that does not fit, you see why and what the correct expression is. That way you reinforce distinctions that otherwise call for memorising – "eine Entscheidung treffen" or "machen"? – by making them yourself. When preparing for Goethe-Zertifikat C1, telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule, TestDaF and DSH, these structures earn points both in reading and listening and in written production. The quickest way to become comfortable with them is to read the short explanation after every mistake as you work through the questions.
