What Is the Nominative Case in German?
The nominative is the first of the four German cases and it identifies the subject of a sentence. Learn more here:
How Do I Identify the Subject in a German Sentence?
Ask the question “Wer oder was?” (Who or what?). The noun that answers this question is the subject and is in the nominative case.
Does the Subject Always Come First?
Not necessarily. While the subject often starts the sentence, German word order allows the object or another element to come first for emphasis. The verb still stays in the second position.
Examples of the Nominative in German Sentences
| German | English |
| Der Hund schläft im Garten. | The dog is sleeping in the garden. |
