    Here are the claimed pronouns in the accusative case:

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    
Singular
Plural
1st person mich  me  uns us
2nd person  dich (Sie you euch (Sie you
3rd person ihn, sie, es    him, her, it   sie (all genders)    them      


    The accusative case is that of the item of a verb. Alone transitive verbs yield absolute objects. The pronoun (and noun in two cases) item in anniversary of these sentences is underlined in the German and the English:

     Konnen Sie mich verstehen? Can you accept me?

     Ich kann Sie verstehen. I can accept you.

     Ich kann sie verstehen I can accept (her or them).

     Ich kann ihn dir zuruck kicken! I can bang it aback to you!

    Note the adjustment of the pronouns in this endure sentence. If the absolute item (here: ihn) is a claimed pronoun, it precedes the dative (dir); if it were a noun, the dative would announce it, as in these sentences:

     Hier, ich kicke dir den Ball zu. Here, I bang the ball to you.

     Darf ich Ihnen meine Freundin vorstellen? May I acquaint my friend to you?

    Other uses of the accusative case in German will be explored in approaching lessons. Tables of the claimed pronouns in all cases are abbreviated in .

    Here are the claimed pronouns in the dative case:

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    

    
Singular
Plural
1st person mir  me  uns us
2nd person  dir (Ihnen you euch (Ihnen you
3rd person ihm, ihr, ihm him, her, it   ihnen (all genders) them      


    The dative case is that of the aberrant item of a verb. The pronoun aberrant item of these sentences is underlined in the German and the English:

     Es geht mir gut It goes (for) me able-bodied

     Wie geht es dir? How goes it (for or with) you

     Und konnen Sie mir sagen...? And can you acquaint me...?

     Karl gibt ihm den Brawl Karl gave him the ball.

     Wie geht es Ihnen? How goes it (with) you? (How are you?)

    This endure book is an archetype from Gesprach 1-2 using the affable anatomy of you. Whether atypical or plural haveto be accustomed by context. This next book translates with ihnen as them:

     Wie geht es ihnen? How goes it with them? (How are they?)

    The acceptation of ihnen (or Ihnen) would accept to appear from ambience in a conversation.

    Another use of the dative case in German is afterwards these prepositions: aus, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, zu. You will be alien to the meanings of these prepositions over some approaching acquaint rather than all at once, because some accept some meanings in English. Indeed, because anniversary accent assembly specific prepositions with some accepted sayings (and these generally do not accord in German and English), these little words can be alarming for students. Nonetheless, you should acquire now the account of prepositions aloft to consistently bethink their affiliation with the dative case. Tables of the pronouns in all cases are abbreviated in .

    Word adjustment in a German book with an aberrant item depends aloft whether that absolute item is a pronoun or a noun. If the direct item is a noun, the dative precedes the accusative; if the direct item is a claimed pronoun, the accusative precedes the dative:

    English book anatomy is similar.
