FAQ about German cases
How can I spot nominative quickly?
Start by looking for the subject. It often answers who or what does the action. If you want more examples, read the
nominative guide.
What is the most reliable clue for accusative?
Many verbs take a direct object, and some prepositions always trigger accusative. Practice with short patterns, then test yourself again. You can review the key ideas in the
accusative overview.
When do I need dative in real sentences?
Dative often appears after common prepositions such as mit, nach, bei, seit, and zu. It also appears with indirect objects such as giving something to someone. For a deeper explanation, use the
dative guide.
Is genitive still important at B1 and B2?
Yes. You will meet genitive with possession and with prepositions such as trotz and während. Many texts and exams still expect it. Learn the patterns in the
genitive guide.
