FAQ: German Grammar Cases – Practice and Learn

What Are the Four Cases in German?

German has four grammatical cases that determine the role of nouns and pronouns:

  • Nominative – the subject (who or what)
  • Genitive – possession (whose)
  • Dative – the indirect object (to whom or for whom)
  • Accusative – the direct object (whom or what)

Each case changes the form of articles, adjectives, and pronouns. Visit our German cases guide for a complete explanation.

How Can I Identify the Correct Case?

Ask the right question depending on the sentence structure:

  • Nominative: Who or what is the subject?
  • Genitive: Whose is it?
  • Dative: To whom or for whom is something done?
  • Accusative: Whom or what is directly affected?

These questions help you understand sentence roles and choose the right case.

Why Are German Cases So Important?

Cases determine how words function in a sentence. Without them, German grammar would be unclear. Mastery of the four cases is essential for fluent speaking and correct sentence construction.
