Question 4

German Sentence Structure: Statement

Answer 4

A simple statement is conducted in the following manner: the subject comes first, then the conjugated verb, the the object and any infinitives or particles

Question 5

Simple German Present Tense

Answer 5

In English, the present tense can be simple or progressive. Both forms translate to just one German present tense form, because there is no continuous tense in standard German. So “she learns” and “she is learning” are both “sie lernt”

Question 6

The Plural Definite Article:

Answer 6

The plural definite article is always die, as in Die Eltern

Question 7

What is the difference between nominative and accusative cases?

Answer 7

The nominative object is the subject of a sentence, so when we say “Die Frau spielt” (the woman plays) “Frau” is the nominative case.

The accusative object is the thing or person receiving the action.
