Dative and accusative in one sentence? How does that even work? Check out this video! Here we go! Hello, nice to have you back! For everyone who doesn't know me yet Hello, my name is Jannika, and from today I am your German teacher. Before we start the lesson, please subscribe to this channel and Activate the bell to never miss a class again. You have been learning German for a while now and know that many verbs require a dative. We need an accusative object, but how should we structure these sentences? I'll explain it to you today, and you'll speak and write German so well Properly improve it, so stay with it until the very end! Moreover, there is also a homework assignment for you again, so that you can the apply newly learned knowledge immediately. At the end of the video, we will Also, a test together to check whether you understood everything correctly. I'm giving you the homework assignment right now. What will you give your mother? Write your answer in the comments after class. We begin with a brief review. What is the dative and what Is it an accusative object? There are many verbs that require an accusative object. For example, I see my father. Masculine, accusative, my father. Then there are naturally also our dative verbs, that is, verbs that take only a dative object. Dative objects are required, for example, with the verb "gefallen." The picture pleases me. I am a dative object. But then there are also these verbs that take two objects require, so a dative and an accusative object. Very typical is the To give. I give my sister the key. My sister is in the dative and the key is in the accusative. Good, but How do I know which is the dative and which is the accusative object? There's a rule for that. simple trick. We have two questions that allow us to identify what Dative and what is the accusative. With the question to whom do we ask regarding the dative object, To whom are you giving the key? Answer: to my mother. Sister. And what do you give? With the question "what," we are asking about the accusative object, also after the direct object. What are you giving your sister? The key. I Give the key to my sister. Very good, we've already understood that. but perhaps you're now wondering what comes first in the sentence, the dative object or the accusative object. We will analyze a few sentences together and find it Out. I've brought you four sentences here. I answer my boss the question. To whom? To my boss. What? The question. You recommend To the customer. To whom? To the customer, so feminine dative. What? The sweater. He Sends a message to his parents. To whom? To his parents. Here we have a Dative plural and what else? A message. We are transferring money to our children. Whom? To our children. Here too we have a plural dative, and what else? Money. Here we can clearly see that when we have two nouns, the dative always comes before the accusative. Since you already know German quite well, you know that A noun that can be replaced with a pronoun to make the sentence shorter. But always remember that pronouns, like nouns, can be in the nominative, dative, or accusative case. be able to. I have an idea. We'll repeat it completely Quickly the pronouns in the nominative, dative, and accusative. So we can avoid mistakes Avoid. Of course, we need the personal pronouns in the nominative case completely. simply. me, you, him, her, it, us, you plural, them plural, they formal. In the accusative case, that is, when the pronoun as direct object is. me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them plural, them Formal. And in the dative: to me, to you, to pay attention, now it becomes difficult, to him, to her, to him, to us, Oh, them (plural), formal "them." Please always remember "she" or "them" Capitalized formally. Now we have all the pronouns Refreshed. Now let's replace the nouns in the dative case with a pronoun. Let us look at this sentence once again. I am answering my boss's question. To whom my boss? That is dative masculine, so we can say "to my boss with him" replace. From this it follows that I answer him the Question. A second example, so it becomes clear. We transfer money to our children Money. To whom our children? Dative plural and that means the personal pronoun are yours. Naturally, this is written in lowercase here. We are transferring to you Money. Maybe you're now wondering whether there's also dative before accusative here? Yes, there is. We transfer money to our children; we transfer money to them. I answer. ask my boss the question, I answer the question for him. In this case, the dative also applies. with the accusative case, the pronoun comes first. But what happens if I only Replace the noun in the accusative? We'll figure it out together. You recommend the sweater. The accusative object here is sweater, the Pullover, also masculine and in the accusative it is "him." You recommend him to the customer. Now the accusative pronoun goes to the front. Best to take a look at Just one more example. He sends a message to his parents. What does he write in a message? Accusative feminine, so the pronoun is "her." He writes to his parents. What is the rule now for the Word order? I have an idea. Let's read all four sentences once again. I Answer his question. We will transfer the money to you. You recommend to the customer. He writes them to his parents. Now we see the pronoun It always comes before the noun, regardless of whether it is in the dative or the accusative case. So the The short word comes before the long word. We now know how to handle the dative noun. and replace the accusative noun, but how do I form a sentence if I have two I want to use pronouns and not just one? We'll find it together again out. This time we will use this example sentence. I am giving to my mother a ring. To whom? To my mother. Dative? What? A ring. Accusative? Masculine. We Replace the noun in the dative. I give her a ring. We replace the noun in the Accusative. I give it to my mother. Now let's replace both. I give him to her. I give him to her. So him is the accusative object and her is the dative object. Dative object. The rule is therefore that when we have two pronouns, the pronoun In the accusative case, the pronoun in the dative comes before it. I give it to her. We are watching. Give us one more example, so we can remember it better. You are sending the documents to your colleagues. To whom? To your colleagues. Dative plural. And what? The documents. We replace the dative object, namely the noun your colleagues, since it is Plural is. Dative plural. To them. You send them the documents. Now we replace Again the noun in the accusative case. The documents, plural, so them. You are sending them. your colleague. Now we'll replace both of them. You send them to them. I know that this There were extremely, extremely many rules all at once. That's why we're doing a small one. Summary. Today we learned that many verbs require a dative and a Accusative objects require verbs such as give, gift, or send. The question "to whom?" refers to the dative object. The question "what?" refers to the accusative object. The dative object is the indirect object and the accusative object is the direct object. Object. When using two nouns in a sentence, the noun in the dative case comes first. the noun in the accusative case. When we have a noun and a pronoun, the Pronouns before the noun, that is, the short word before the long word. And when we When there are two pronouns, accusative comes before dative. You've got it well. Pay attention, then you're now ready for the test. And what is the test? Run? I think it went well. Please don't forget your Homework and answer this question. What do you give your mother? Write Your answer in the comments. Of course, I will read your answer. And correct it if necessary. How can I write better sentences? Very simple with T-K-Mo-Lo. Let's go! Hello, nice to have you back. For All those who don't yet know me, my name is Janika, and starting today I am I am your German teacher. Today we are talking about a topic that many advanced level German learners, i.e., B2, help to express clearly and to form natural sentences according to the T-K-Mo-Lo rule. If you therefore do not exactly knows where to place time, reason, manner, or place in the sentence you should, then this video is exactly right for you. So watch it until the end. Before we begin the lesson, Please subscribe to this channel and turn on the bell to never miss a lesson. more to miss. During class, you don't need to worry No notes to make. I've given you the content in the form of summarized in a PDF file. You can find the PDF file under this video And of course it's free. I'm giving you the homework right now. on. Write your own example using the T-K-Mo-Lo rule after the lesson in the comments. Maybe you're wondering what T-K-Mo-Lo actually means? That is an abbreviation for temporal, causal, modal, and local. Temporal means a Time indication, also when. K means a causal indication, i.e., why. What does a modal indication mean, i.e., in what manner, and what does Lo mean? Local information, also at which location. If you write clear and distinct sentences If you would like to, please adhere to this order. Temporal, causal, modal, and locational. I will show you a few examples. Example 1. I'll meet my friend tomorrow spontaneously in town about a project. My friend is naturally the accusative object, which comes first. Then we have temporal, when, tomorrow, why, causal, because of a project, the type and Informal, also modal, very spontaneous, and finally local, that is, where, in the city. I'll meet my friend tomorrow spontaneously in town about a project. Example 2. We will discuss the offer on Tuesday at the customer's request via Video conference from home office. As requested by the client, the cause description and per Videoconference is the modal expression here. Example 3. I am writing to my sister. Tonight, out of gratitude, a very detailed email from home on the laptop. At the end of the sentence is an email address. This is not a Tekamolo reference, but rather the accusative object. The dative object of my sister stands here directly after To the verb. Example number 4. We are cooking the food. after work, together in the kitchen for our guests. Example number 5. The colleague updates the data every morning for quality reasons. carefully in the system. The causal expression is here introduced with the preposition out of Specified. You can also indicate reasons using the preposition "aus." Example number 6. I will create the presentation next week for the Management team with the new program in the office. The causal expression, that is, why, is introduced in this case by the preposition for. specified. For what purpose? It is therefore rather the intent. Now I would like to give you a few Assign tasks. You must reconstruct a sentence according to the Tekamolo rule. I'll give you some time, and then I'll explain the correct solution to you. Here you have The words for the first sentence. A hint. First determine the subject and the Object or the objects. Remember, the verb always comes in the Second position. In the main section, you use the Tekamolo rule. Temporal, causal, Mode and local. Please, I'll give you some time. The correct answer is, my grandmother skipped church every other Sunday back then. Love for her grandchildren, baking a cake with great effort in the kitchen. My grandmother is the subject. Buk is the past tense verb of "to bake." Back then On every second Sunday, there are even two temporal references at once. The Reason: out of love for her grandchildren. Mode: with great effort. And finally, locally, where, in the bakery. Here we have on the last Position the accusative object, a cake. Task number two. This sentence That's naturally also somewhat difficult. I'll give you some more time again. The correct The answer is that the company was able to increase its revenue in the last quarter due to slightly increase the declining demand. The company is the subject, could is the verb, so it must naturally be conjugated according to the subject. second position. Their revenue is the accusative object. Then it already starts Our TKMOLO rule. When in the last quarter? Why? Due to the decline in Demand. Due to is expressed as a genitive preposition. And How, so modal, only slightly. Only slightly means just a little bit. And increase, that is the infinitive. We have could, the modal verb, and the The infinitive must of course go to the last position. And if you've been paying good attention, then Let's take the test now. How did the test go for you? I think it went well. Director, please don't forget your homework and write your own Example with the TKMOLO rule in the comments. Of course, I will read your answer and correct it if necessary. Many thanks for watching!
