It is very important that you do not worry and think about endings to begin with. They are given at this stage so that you will understand why adjective endings are different in different sentences. Whilst they are a bit complicated, they do follow strict rules so they can be learned easily. # When you have the definite article "the" before an adjective like: THE WHITE DOG IS GREEN THE BLACK CAT IS GREEN THE GREEN PIG IS GREEN then the adjective always ends with an "e". 0 So, 0 THE WHITE DOG IS GREEN is DER WEISSE HUND IST GRN 0 THE BLACK CAT IS GREEN is DIE SCHWARZE KATZE IST GRN 0 THE GREEN PIG IS GREEN is DAS GRNE SCHWEIN IST GRN # When the noun is the object of the sentence - for example: IT LOVES THE BLACK DOG IT LOVES THE WHITE CAT IT LOVES THE GREEN PIG then for the MASCULINE and FEMININE, the adjective has the same ending as the word "the". 0 For example, 0 ES LIEBT DEN SCHWARZEN HUND 0 ES LIEBT DIE WEISSE KATZE But for NEUTER the adjective only has the ending "e": ES LIEBT DAS GRNE SCHWEIN # The rule is, therefore, that with the word THE, when the noun is the subject or object of the sentence, an adjective will always end in "E", except when there is a masculine noun as the object of the sentence, when it ends in "EN". # * %SENTENCES_E_F 5 THE BIG NOSE IS RED DIE GROSSE NASE IST ROT THE EMPTY HEART WAS BLACK DAS LEERE HERZ WAR SCHWARZ THE BIG PAIN IS BAD DER GROSSE SCHMERZ IST SCHLECHT SHE LOVES THE SMALL BLADDER SIE LIEBT DIE KLEINE BLASE I LOVE THE RED BLOOD ICH LIEBE DAS ROTE BLUT * %SENTENCES_F_E 5 DIE WEISSE HAND WAR KALT THE WHITE HAND WAS COLD DAS GROSSE OHR IST GRN THE BIG EAR IS GREEN ICH ESSE DAS SCHWERE HERZ I EAT THE HEAVY HEART ER LIEBT DAS SCHWARZE AUGE HE LOVES THE BLACK EYE SIE LIEBEN DIE KLEINE NASE YOU LOVE THE LITTLE NOSE * %TEXT 1 ELEMENTARY GRAMMAR When you use the word "a", as in: 0 A WHITE DOG IS GREEN 0 A BLACK CAT IS GREEN 0 A GREEN SHEEP IS GREEN then the adjective ending is the same as the ending of the word THE. 0 So, 0 A WHITE DOG IS GREEN is EIN WEISSER HUND IST GRN 0 A BLACK CAT IS GREEN is EINE SCHWARZE KATZE IST GRN 0 A GREEN PIG IS GREEN is EIN GRNES SCHWEIN IST GRN # When the noun is the object of the sentence: IT LOVES A WHITE DOG IT LOVES A BLACK CAT IT LOVES A GREEN PIG then again the adjective takes the same ending as the definite article THE: 0 IT LOVES A WHITE DOG is ES LIEBT EINEN WEISSEN HUND 0 IT LOVES A BLACK CAT is ES LIEBT EINE SCHWARZE KATZE 0 IT LOVES A GREEN PIG is ES LIEBT EIN GRNES SCHWEIN # DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ADJECTIVE ENDINGS TO BEGIN WITH. Provided you understand what has been written above, you will be able to understand spoken German. As you use German, you will come to use the adjective endings correctly, and it would be a great pity if you stopped to think too much about adjective endings before you spoke. The odd mistake to begin with will not stop you being understood when you speak. # PLEASE NOTE that the words: MEIN, DEIN, SEIN, IHR, UNSER all end in the same way as EIN. 0 So, 0 A WHITE DOG IS GREEN is EIN WEISSER HUND IST GRN 0 MY WHITE DOG IS GREEN is MEIN WEISSER HUND IST GRN 0 YOUR WHITE DOG IS GREEN is DEIN WEISSER HUND IST GRN and so on. # * %SENTENCES_E_F 5 THE BIG DUCK WAS DEAD, BUT THE WHITE HORSE IS NOT DEAD DIE GROSSE ENTE WAR TOT, ABER DAS WEISSE PFERD IST NICHT TOT IT IS A WET RAIN AND A DRY FOG ES IST EIN NASSER REGEN UND EIN TROCKENER NEBEL MY BIG BANK HAS MUCH (a lot of) MONEY MEINE GROSSE BANK HAT VIEL GELD WHY IS IT ENGAGED?

Don't worry about being wrong, however, as you will still be understood even if you make a mistake. # The FIRST rule is that the word for THE is always DIE when the noun is plural - whether the noun is masculine, feminine or neuter. 0 So, 0 THE DOGS is DIE HUNDE 0 THE CATS is DIE KATZEN 0 THE KNIVES is DIE MESSER # The SECOND rule is this: for MASCULINE and NEUTER nouns, if the word is short add an "E" at the end to make it plural. If it is a long word, leave it alone. 0 So, 0 DER HUND is THE DOG 0 DIE HUNDE is THE DOGS 0 but 0 DER TELLER is THE PLATE 0 DIE TELLER is THE PLATES # The THIRD rule is this: if the word is FEMININE, make it end with "EN" in the plural. 0 So, 0 DIE KATZE is THE CAT 0 DIE KATZEN is THE CATS As was said at the beginning, you will make mistakes using these rules but you will almost always be understood - and you will usually be right in any case. # To summarise: 0 FOR FEMININE WORDS: Make sure the words end in "EN" in the plural. For example, DIE KATZEN, DIE FLASCHEN. 0 FOR MASCULINE AND NEUTER WORDS: If the word is short - add an "E" to make it plural. For example, DIE HUNDE If the word is long - leave it alone.

Where something is STANDING STILL like: The dog IS on the table, or The river IS under the forest then you use DEM as you have just been shown. However if the verb is ACTIVE such as: The dog GOES on the table, or The river GOES under the forest then you use DEN, just as you normally do. # The DEM in AUF DEM TISCH, therefore, only occurs when the verb before is not active. THE SAME RULE is true for feminine and neuter words. There are exceptions to what has just been said, but you will be understood even if you do make mistakes. So, do not worry if you make mistakes - it is only important to understand at this stage why there are differences between DEM and DEN, etc. # * %SENTENCES_E_F 5 THE BOY GOES IN THE RIVER DER JUNGE GEHT IN DEN FLUSS THE GIRL IS IN THE RIVER DAS MDCHEN IST IN DEM FLUSS THE HORSE GOES OVER THE BOOK DAS PFERD GEHT BER DAS BUCH THE HORSE IS ON THE BEACH DAS PFERD IST AUF DEM STRAND THE LETTER IS ON THE COW DER BRIEF IST AUF DER KUH * %SENTENCES_F_E 6 DAS MDCHEN GEHT DURCH DEN ZOLL THE GIRL GOES THROUGH THE CUSTOMS DAS L UND DAS BENZIN SIND IN DEM AUTO IN DER GARAGE THE OIL AND THE GASOLINE ARE IN THE CAR IN THE GARAGE DIE HITZE GEHT DURCH DIE APOTHEKE THE HEAT GOES THROUGH THE DRUG STORE DIE KAMERA IST AUF DEM BETT THE CAMERA IS ON THE BED DIE POST UND DER DOM SIND AUF DEM STRAND THE POST OFFICE AND THE CATHEDRAL ARE ON THE BEACH ER WAR FNF MINUTEN IN DEM RESTAURANT HE WAS FIVE MINUTES IN THE RESTAURANT * %TEXT 0 DAYS OF THE WEEK The next part deals with days of the week.
