German Grammar Explained /
Accusative pronoun: Part II
- the nominative, accusative, and dative case
- cases in German change articles and pronouns, we call this declension
- verbs or prepositions can condition the case we need
- understanding what a subject and object is can be very helpful
- singular personal pronouns in accusative:
| ich | → | mich |
| du | → | dich |
| er | → | ihn |
| sie | → | sie |
| es | → | es |
What is missing?
More cases?!
Haha, no. The plural pronouns in the accusative!
| wir | → | uns |
| ihr | → | euch |
| Sie (formal) | → | Sie |
| sie (plural) | → | sie |
Are they used the same way as the singular pronouns?
They are! Here are some examples in context:
Kommt uns besuchen!
Come visit us!
Ich habe euch schon lange nicht mehr gesehen.
I haven't seen you (plural) for so long.
Da sind unsere Freunde. Siehst du sie?
There are our friends. Do you see them?
