The German case system is one of the most important grammar concepts for GCSE. Cases change the form of articles, pronouns and adjectives depending on the grammatical function of a noun in a sentence. This lesson explains all four cases clearly with examples and practice patterns.
Cases tell you the role a noun plays in a sentence:
| Case | Role | Question | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nominativ (Nom.) | Subject | Wer? / Was? (Who? / What?) | Der Hund ist groß. |
| Akkusativ (Akk.) | Direct object | Wen? / Was? (Whom? / What?) | Ich sehe den Hund. |
| Dativ (Dat.) | Indirect object | Wem? (To whom?) | Ich gebe dem Hund einen Knochen. |
| Genitiv (Gen.) | Possession | Wessen? (Whose?) | Das ist das Haus des Mannes. |
