FAQ about the nominative

What is nominative in one simple sentence?
The nominative is the subject. It answers the question wer oder was (who or what). You can read more here: German nominative case.
Does the subject always come first?
Not always. German often starts with time or place. The subject can come later and is still nominative. This is why the quiz uses many sentences that start with another part.
How can I train all cases, not only nominative?
Start with a clear overview and then practice step by step. This page helps you build a base: cases in German.
Why are there only nouns and pronouns as options?
The subject is a noun or a pronoun, not a verb. If you train with clean options, you learn faster to spot who does the action in the sentence.
