What are the Cases in German?

The German language consists of four cases: the Nominative, the Genitive, the dative and the accusative case. You can read more about the cases: here.

How can I figure out the correct German case?

Finding the correct German case can be challenging, which is one reason why German isn't so easy. To determine the nominative case, you can ask: “Who or what.” The nominative is usually the subject of a sentence. The genitive case in German is needed for ownership or possession. To find the genitive, ask: “Whose.” 

The dative case is used for the indirect object, and there's no direct interaction between the subject and the dative. To identify the dative, ask: “For whom/to whom.” The accusative case, on the other hand, is for the direct object, where there's interaction between the subject and the object.
