3. Dieser Buch, Nachtschicht, kostet 20 Euro.
Jeder Buch, Nachschicht, kostet 20 Euro.
Welcher Buch, kostet 20 Euro?

you have to write 'DieseS Buch', 'JedeS Buch' and 'WelcheS Buch', with a 's' in the end, because the word 'Buch' is neuter, it has the article 'das' ;)

4. Jede Studentin schon im Theatre?
Welche Studentin schon im Theatre?

you forgot the verb 'Ist' at the beginning of these sentences, and Theater is written with er in the end, not re ;)

5. Dieser Bild von Claude Monet ist sehr schön.
Jeder Bild von Claude Monet ist sehr schön.
Welcher Bild von Claude Monet ist sehr schön?

the same as in 3), the word 'Bild' is neuter so you have to write 'Dieses', 'Jedes', 'Welches'.

7.Alle CD von Rush sehr guts.
Alle CDs von Rush sind sehr gut ;)

10. Warum ist dieser Licht kaputt? Es ist brandneu!
Warum ist jeder Licht kaputt? Es ist brandneu!
Welcher ist Licht kaputt? Es ist brandneu!Again, the word 'Licht' is neuter, so it has to be dieses, jedes, welches Licht. And the syntax in the last sentence must be 'Welches Licht ist ( ... )

Okay! So 'S' for the das words. Got it.

Why is it:
"Warum sind alle Lichter kaputt? Sie sind brandneu!"

And, lol, yes I find German a bit tricky. They say the older you get the harder it is to pick up a new language.

So for this one: 7. Alle CD von Rush sehr guts.
I had the right idea, I just put the 's' on the wrong spot?

Exactly.

It's 'Warum sind alle Lichter kaputt? Sie sind brandneu!' because here, the plural of 'das Licht' is used, and in the German plural, all words have the article 'die', for example: 'Die Buecher', 'Die CDs', 'Diese Bilder' etc.

And to 7): right, you put the s on the wrong spot ;)
