What are the 4 cases in German?
In German nominal groups (articles, adjectives or nouns) are declined corresponding to their case. That means they have different endings according to their function in the sentence. In German there are 4 declension cases.
- Nominative
- Genitive
- Dative
- Accusative
To identify the case of a noun, there are certain questions to ask for a specific case.

How to use the nominative case in Germa?
1. As the subject of the verb
Examples:
- Der Junge liest ein Buch. - The boy reads a book.
- Die Katze ist weiß. - The cat is white.
- Die Stadt ist bekannt. - The city is known.
2. As a predicate nominative
A predicative nominative is a noun that is equated with the subject of the sentence or clause. It follows a linking verb and refers back to it.
Here are some linking verbs:
- sein - to be
- werden - to become
- heißen - to be called
- bleiben - to remain/ to stay
- scheinen - to seem/ to appear
- aussehen - to look like
Examples:
- Mein Bruder möchte Arzt werden. - My brother want to become a doctor.
- Dr. Müller bleibt unser Zahnarzt. - Mr. Müller remains our dentist.
- Es scheint ein Hund zu sein. - It seems to be a dog.
3. As a noun of a direct address
You have to use the nominative case in phrases where you use the imperative or you directly address someone.
Examples:
- Guten Tag, mein Freund. - Good day, my friend.
- Sei still, Markus! - Be quite, Markus!
Where to place a nominative in a sentence?
Usually the nominative, being the subject, occupies the first place in a sentence and the it is followed by the verb. However, it often happens that the sentence starts with an adverb or another element. In this case, since the verb always occupies the second place, the nominative (subject) comes after the verb (in third place).
Examples:
- Tom singt ein Lied. - Tom sings a song.
- Nach der Arbeit gehe ich im Park laufen. - After work I am going for a run in the park.
Genitive case (2. Fall)
The genitive is a complement of a noun, that means it completes the noun to which it refers to. It answers the question
Wessen? - whose / of what?
Table of delcension of the the genitive case
In this table you can find several examples for the declension of noun and their articles in the different genders. In addition, there are some examples of adjectives that accompany a noun in the genitive case.
| Masculine | Feminine | Neuter | Plural | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| With a definite article | des Mannes | der Frau | des Kindes | der Leute |
| With an indefinite article | eines Mannes | einer Frau | eines Kindes | Leute |
| With a definite article + adjective | des guten Mannes | der schönen Frau | des lustigen Kindes | der vielen Leute |
| With an indefinite article + adjective | eines guten Mannes | einer schönen Frau | eines lustigen Kindes | vieler Leute |
How to use the genitive case in German?
1. To show possession of relationships between two nouns
The genitive is used to express possession or a relationship between people and/or objects. In English it is translated with the preposition of or
Examples:
- das Spielzeug des Kindes - the toy of the child.
- das Buch des Schülers - the book of the student
2. With expressions of indefinite time
The genitive can also be used as an adverb to give indications about an indefinite duration or period. In English it is expressed by for instance: one day, some day.
Examples:
- Eines Tages werden sie heiraten. - One day they will marry.
- Eines Morgens wurde ich von meiner Mutter geweckt. - One morning I was awakened by my mother.
The female noun die Nacht behaves in this case as a masculine or a neutral noun.
3. With prepositions

- während - during
- trotz - despite
- statt/anstatt - instead
- wegen - because of
- infolge - as a result of
- dank - due to/thanks to
- außerhalb, innerhalb, oberhalb, unterhalb - outside, inside, above, below
- um ... willen - for the sake of
- diesseits, jenseits - on this side of, on the other side of
Examples:
- Während meines Aufenthalts in Hamburg habe ich viele Leute kennengelernt. - During my stay in Hamburg, I met many people.
- Dank deiner Bemühungen hast du das Ziel erreicht. - Thanks to your efforts, you have reached the goal.
- Wegen des Gewitters kann man nicht Fußball spielen. - Because of the storm, you can not play football.
4. With genitive verbs

- gedenken - to commemorate
- beschuldigen - to accuse
- sich einer Sache bedienen - to use one thing
Examples:
- Sie ist des Mordes angeklagt. - She is charged with murder.
- Der Anwalt beschuldigt mich der Tat. - The lawyer accuses me of the act.
5. With genitive adjectives
There are some adjectives that are followed by the genitive case.

- würdig - worthy
Examples:

Sie ist dieses Namens würdig. - She is worthy of this name.
The genitive with -s (possessiv genitive)
The genitive of proper names can also be formed with ending a -s (possessive genitive). Therefore you have to put the name in front of the noun (the possession) and add the suffix -s. In English it is nearly the same, but with an apostrophe.
Examples.
- Emmas Bruder - Emma's brother
- Mozarts Lied - Mozart's song
- Marios Hund - Mario's dog
The genitive with 'von'
The genitive of proper nouns can be formed using the von preposition before the proper noun.
Be careful: the genitive cases changes into a dative cases then!
Examples:
- der Bruder von Emma - the brother of Emma
- das Lied von Mozart - the song of Mozart
- der Hund von Mario - the dog of Mario

The dative is an indirect object in the sentence and forms the answer to the question
Wem? - whom?

Hello everyone and a big warm welcome to all the fellow language learners,
My name is Katerina, I’m a native Russian speaker and a foreign language teacher from St Petersburg, Russia. I’ve always been addicted to learning foreign languages, be it English, German, Spanish, Turkish or Arabic, so turning my passion into my job was just a matter of time. I have a Master’s degree in linguistics which taught me to understand the way the mechanism of a language works and thus to help my students see the logics behind the grammar rules. Being a constant language learner enables me to see the process from both sides and to predict the difficulties my students might face. The fact that I’m not a native speaker of English or German means I’ve been through exactly the same language-learning journey you’re about to take, and thanks to my personal experience as a student, I can make this road smooth for you.
I've had students of all ages, from pre-school kids to senior generation, and I feel comfortable working with both beginners and those who are eager to take their learning process to a new level. In my classes I encourage you to talk in the language we’re studying as much as possible, putting every single bit of knowledge into practice right away. If you’re a Russian-learner, I’d be glad to prove it to you that you can absolutely nail my mother-tongue - and yes, you’ll be able to make a small talk in Russian by the end of the first class even if you’re an absolute beginner! We’ll be focusing on the topics that are most relevant to your goals, while discovering the language and getting to know more about the culture of people who speak it.
I offer a short free trial class, for us to give each other a smile and discuss our teaching pattern, in order to ajust it to your goals and make our lessons the bee's knees :) See you soon!
S. B.
Ekaterina writes new words and sentences learnt during the lesson. She has got a very nice attitude and great accent! A pleasure to work with... yes, even in German!!!!!

Dear Silvia, thank you very much for your feedback! It's a real pleasure to have classes with you, and I hope you find them useful!
I am a tutor in French as a foreign language. I specialize in conversation and communication from B1 level upwards, but I also have A2 students with whom I follow a more traditional method.
With me, you can express yourself freely and make mistakes without fear, I'll take note of them without interrupting. Essential is that the conversation flows and that we understand each other.
I am Belgian and my mother tongue is French. I have always loved literature, culture, and languages. I studied in Flanders for 10 years, lived in France and Switzerland for 4 years, and I currently live in Valencia, Spain.
I followed the DAEFLE training (teaching French as a foreign language) in 2017.
My practice: - online conversation / support for self-taught students
- coaching / correction of speeches, lectures and documents
Method: - interests and culture
- videos, images, music, reports, poems
- asking questions and seeking answers online (with guidance)
- I encourage listening to podcasts and the use of applications such as Duolingo outside of class for vocabulary and repetition

Lessons with Elodie are less like traditional teacher-student lessons, and more like having a conversation with your French-speaking friend. Having no practical necessity to improve my French now, but wishing to do so nevertheless (and not to forget what I already knew), this is exactly the format I was looking for. Elodie usually defines a topic for the lesson (according to my preferences) and sends some materials in advance to prepare (e.g. a YouTube video to watch), which will be discussed then. She corrects persistent mistakes and explains new words but makes sure it does not interrupt the flow of conversation. It is a good language practice, but also a great way to learn new things about francophone culture (and not only!), so I definitely recommend!
Elodie O.
I am French living in Lisbon in Portugal. I have lived in different countries such as England, the United States and India. It gave me some experience of learning a foreign language and teaching it.
I am passionate about different cultures and try to share my love for French culture with you in a lively way.
I adapt to the needs of the students, whether to improve their oral, written, prepare for an exam or a job interview. I prioritize the conversation to allow the student to "unblock" and have fun speaking the language. I write down the vocabulary and grammar that the student lacks to express himself.
Learning a foreign language is, in my view, above all through cultural curiosity. We want to learn a language because we want to live in the country, travel there or get to know it better. We feel attracted. It is its Culture that motivates us in our learning: music, film, text, literature, way of being and cultural differences forming "another world". This means that learning is not just about learning a list of words and grammar lessons, as is taught too often in school. Practice again and again through conversation, books, music, movies and above all the pleasure of speaking and listening.
I adapt the student's personal work according to their available time and their objective (conversation, deadline for an exam, scheduled trip, etc.).
I am at your disposal for any further information.
See you soon,

Hello =)
My name is Karolin and since the beginning of 2017, while I was still living in Chile, I've been giving online classes. I really enjoy my work and it gives me the privilage to get to know people from all around the world, which is amazing.
Both in English and in German, I teach classes for beginners and advanced students. I speak Spanish fluently, but as I lived in Chile for around 5 years, both my pronounciation and my choice of words are influenced by that. I learned and teach the european Spanish but only for beginners (A1/A2). But if you don't mind the chilenean influence, I do teach to a higher level as well.
If you'd like to get to know me and my teaching methods, just contact me and we will do a free trial lesson (please do NOT by a lesson before the trial lesson, not every teacher is good for every student).
See you soon!

Karolin is a fantastic teacher! She is very well organized, precise and punctual. She always knows how to explain the German grammar rules to make them clear and easier to remember. The lessons time with her is flying and I always look forward to the next one. Highly recommended.

I have 3 years of teaching experience and a 120 hours of advanced practical TEFL and TESOL. I am a dedicated teacher who cares about her students. I am an amazing listener, attentive, and very passionate. I enjoy traveling, for it allows me to meet new people of different cultures and backgrounds. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, for I get to make an impact in people's lives as much as they make an impact in mine. I cannot wait to make your English learning journey enjoyable and impactful.

Hallo :) I'm a German language teacher with a Bachelor and Master degree in German and with many years of teaching experience.
I was born and lived in Switzerland for many years and grew up in a bilingual family, because of that I speak German, Swiss German, Croatian and English :)
- ABOUT THE CLASS -
I offer German language lessons for A1, A2, B1, B2 level and they include everything you need: grammar, speaking, listening audio, reading, writing and for some fun: games and role plays :)
This is ideal for students who want actively participate and speak more, learn new words and exercise the grammar.
All learning materials and exercises are included and will be provided during the lesson.
The learning material is from various books: Schritte International, Menschen, Sicher im Alltag und Beruf, Begegnungen, ....
If you wish to have only conversational lessons, I can arrange this also for you (only available for B1 and B2 level).

Lessons with Mihaela are always well organised. She is undoubtedly proficient in German and can give useful tips. There is plenty of study materials provided. It is always possible to look at these materials even after the lesson since Mihaela writes downs every vocabulary that is discussed. She is always happy to tailor the lesson according to student's wishes/needs. I'm very satisfied.
