FAQ about verb cases

Why do some verbs need dative?
Many verbs connect to a person or thing that is affected indirectly. Common examples include helfen, danken, vertrauen, and folgen. You can review more examples in the dative verbs list.
What is the fastest way to spot accusative?
Many everyday verbs take a direct object, for example sehen, kaufen, suchen, and besuchen. If the verb acts directly on the object, accusative is very common. A short refresher is available on the accusative case page.
Do I need to memorize every verb?
You do not need a full list at once. Start with the most frequent verbs and learn them in short phrases. Then repeat them in context so you hear the case pattern naturally.
Why can den appear in two different roles?
Den can be accusative masculine, and it can also be dative plural. That is why the verb and the noun form matter. If you want the full forms for dative, check the dative case page.
How should I practice after this quiz?
Repeat the quiz and write one sentence of your own for each verb. After that, train articles daily with the Premium Article Trainer so the forms become familiar.
