Lesson outcome

I can ask how to spell a word in German and distinguish between nominative articles with 'sein' and accusative articles with other verbs, and use them in speaking and writing.

Show transcript
Ask 'Wie schreibt man das?' to ask how to spell a word in German. 'Wie heißt ...?' or 'Wie heißen ...?' (What is it/are they called?) are alternatives to 'Wie sagt man ...?'. Definite articles - 'der, die, das, die' - and indefinite articles - 'ein, eine, ein' - are used before nouns. The accusative case shows us the direct object in a sentence. Masculine articles change in the accusative case ('den; einen'). Feminine, neuter and plural articles do not change.
