FAQ: Dative vs. Accusative Verbs in German

What Are Dative Verbs?

Some verbs in German always require the dative case. That means the object of the verb is indirectly affected by the action.
Example: Ich helfe dem Mann. (I help the man.)

You can find a full list of dative verbs in our guide to dative-only verbs.

What Is the Accusative Case Used For?

The accusative case marks the direct object β€” the thing or person directly receiving the action.
Example: Ich sehe den Hund. (I see the dog.)

What Will I Do in This Quiz?

You’ll read a sentence and decide whether the verb requires the dative or accusative case. It’s a great way to reinforce case awareness through repetition and context.

Should I Learn Dative or Accusative Verbs First?

It’s smart to begin with dative verbs, as they are fewer and easier to memorize. Once you’ve mastered them, move on to accusative verbs, which are more common.
