Introduction

German nouns and adjectives are the building blocks of the language. Understanding their gender, cases, and how adjectives agree with nouns will make your sentences more accurate and expressive.

Gender and Articles

Every German noun has a gender: masculine, feminine, or neuter. The article helps identify the gender:
- Der Tisch (The table - masculine)
- Die Lampe (The lamp - feminine)
- Das Fenster (The window - neuter)

Adjective Endings

Adjectives in German change their endings depending on the gender, number, and case of the noun they describe:
- Ein schöner Tag (A beautiful day - masculine, nominative)
- Eine schöne Blume (A beautiful flower - feminine, nominative)

Plural Forms

Pluralizing German nouns can be tricky, as there are different rules:
- Add “-e” (e.g., der Hund → die Hunde)
- Add “-n” (e.g., die Blume → die Blumen)

Practice

Write sentences with nouns and adjectives in different genders and cases to strengthen your understanding.
