Unfortunately I was constrained to already-known words. Alternative (b): change the element " sind" in verbList to "__ sind" and make the plural endings part of the exercise. I didn't think of that till later. There's still the issue of dative plural endings, but as a non-native speaker, I get them wrong myself half the time anyway. As this is a Mathematica group and not a learning-German group, I'll stop here. Best regards, Luci
