More info here:
today we’re talking about the first case in German grammar, the nominative (der Nominativ)
In order to know when to use the nominative for a noun in a sentence, you’ll have to ask the following questions:
“What is that? (Was ist das?)” or
“Who is that? (Wer ist das?)”
If the noun in a sentence is the answer to one of those two questions, you’ll know you have to use the nominative form of it.
Examples used here:
“Das ist ein Apfel. (This is an apple)” and
“Das ist Kiwi. (This is Kiwi)”
who? – wer?
what? – was?
der Apfel – the apple
ein Apfel – an apple
The next three learn german videos will be about the three other cases of German grammar:
- Genitiv
- Dativ
- Akkusativ
I’ll provide you with more explanatory questions that will help you to figure out what case to use for what noun in a sentence (and yes, unfortunately those other three cases will be even more difficult to explain and understand).
I hope this was helpful!
