Personal Pronouns

Personal pronouns in German change based on case (nominative, accusative, dative). Here’s a quick overview:

• Nominative: ich, du, er/sie/es, wir, ihr, sie/Sie
• Accusative: mich, dich, ihn/sie/es, uns, euch, sie/Sie
• Dative: mir, dir, ihm/ihr/ihm, uns, euch, ihnen/Ihnen

Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns indicate ownership and agree with the gender and case of the noun they describe:

• mein, meine (my)
• dein, deine (your)
• sein, seine (his/its)
• ihr, ihre (her/their)
• unser, unsere (our)
• euer, eure (your - plural)

Practice Examples

Try replacing nouns with pronouns:

• Ich sehe den Mann. → Ich sehe ihn. (I see him.)
• Das ist mein Buch. → Das ist meins. (That is mine.)

Conclusion

Mastering German pronouns is vital for accurate communication. Pay attention to the case and gender to use them correctly.
