Do not ask if... just post your question.

It's filling in the missing demonstrative articles for a study guide. 1.)Ich möchte _______ hund. Diese dieser dieses diesen 2.) Mir gefallen ______ Schmetterlinge. dieser diese dieses diesen

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

First, check if the noun (Hund, Schmetterlinge) is masculine, feminine, neutral or plural. Second, check if it is the subject, the object of the sentence or any other case.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wouldn't they both be masculine?

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Yes they are, but SchmetterlingE is plural.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay. So now how do I figure out what article to use?

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Check if the noun is: the subject, the object or any other case in the sentence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. B 2. D Are those right?

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Masculine: Nom. dieser Akk. diesen Dat. diesem Gen. dieses Feminine: Nom. diese Akk. diese Dat. dieser Gen. dieser Neutral: Nom. dieses Akk. dieses Dat. diesem Gen. dieses Plural: Nom. diese Akk. diese Dat. diesen Gen. dieser
