Questions & Answers about Wer bringt Annas Torte?

Why is it Annas Torte and not "Anna's Torte" with an apostrophe?
In German, when you want to show that something belongs to a person, you simply add an -s to the end of their name. You do not use an apostrophe like we do in English! So "Anna's cake" becomes Annas Torte.
I always mix up wer and wo. Does wer mean "where"?
This is a very common false friend! In German, wer means "who", and wo means "where". It can be tricky because they sound like the opposite English words, but just remember that wer is asking about a person.
Why does the verb bringt end in -t?
The question word wer (who) acts as a singular third-person subject, just like er, sie, or es (he, she, it). Because of this, the verb bringen (to bring) drops its -en and takes the standard -t ending to become bringt.
Is there a difference between Torte and Kuchen?
Yes! While both translate to "cake", a Kuchen is usually a simpler baked cake like a pound cake or coffee cake. A Torte is typically a fancy, layered cake with lots of cream, frosting, or filling.
