I found it really helpful. It would be great to do this for adjectives too – Only male but practicing in the various cases and definitive/indefinitive and so on!
Good idea. But you can actually also take this one and just add an adjective everywhere :)
This is a great idea. I have been learning German on the internet for over a year and have a pretty good vocabulary .. but the grammar is so scary. I’m sure this will help.
Cool, let me know if it did.
Danke, so eine tolle Übung. Besonders weil du den Fall und das grammatische Geschlecht getrennt hast. Echt hilfreich!
Yes! Ich bin jetzt fur zwei Woche in Deutschland!! =) Dein blog hat viel hilfen!! aber, ich hab noch ein[?] lang[?] weg zu gehen….haha.
Last week I had several days of classes and I think now my biggest need is to learn the cases. And I believe one gender at a time is perfect!! I look forward to trying the exercises. But tomorrow I’m taking a train to Zweibrucken to see an old friend. =)
Danke schön, Emmanuel!!!!! You’ve made my trip easier. (My daughter here sounds like a native speaker now, and all her friends are!!! I have a lot of work to do. :)) Vielen dank!
My man..one year ago i started reading your post and you continue to surprise me..a lot of things have become easier thanks to your awesome energy..it has been a real pleasure..pass it on emanuel
Thanks for the kind words :). I’ll do my best to stay fresh.
I love these kinds of exercises! Thank you for all your work during the busy holiday season.
I’ll clock out after the 24th :) (well, except for selecting 24 winners)
Thnx!
Thank you for doing this. I have been trying to learn German online for about eight months now, and I cannot seem to absorb all the case differences. I know this will help!
Ich hoffe :)
Will you be doing others for female and plural nouns/pronouns/subjects/objects? And can you explain when es is used for it versus ihn or er? Danke!!
I already have those for each gender since I did those a while back when I started my teaching career. I’ll share them, if you guys think they’re any good.
As for “es”… that’s neuter, “er” and “ihn” are masculine. “es” corresponds with “das”. You won’t need “es” in this exercise here.
Ah, ok. So even though the thing is an object and not a person, you use er if it’s a masculine thing. I hadn’t realized that. Thank you!! And yes, please do post the others. :)
Yeah, the grammatical gender is what matters, not what it is in the real world.
First of all, nice idea and congratulations for your efforts.
It is indeed the better for beginners, focusing on case only. But for some people with a little more experience, it would be good to have to watch out for both cases and genders.
To please all readers, I suggest provide provide separate lists with pre-defined genders, as seem here, and another with all genders mixed up. That shouldn’t be so laborious.
Och nan och, and I thought Gaelic was difficult! (-;
Oh, wow have you learned it?
Great Emmanuel, very good idea to separate the gender and cases. Also some nice seasonal references and posdibly even subliminal messaging….
Eine tolle idee für heute. Frohen dritten Advent!
