THE GRAMMAR

©The Dublin School of Grinds � Ms Julie Cullen39

Section 1 - Grammatical terms It is important that you understand what these words mean in both English and

German. The language that you speak everyday has come naturally to you. Although

a parent may correct your grammar “I have done, NOT I done!”, they don’t usually

shout “That’s not the correct past participle! You used your modal verb incorrectly!”

In German, we’re expected to know what all of this means when we’re not even sure

of it in English. Let’s fix that.

English Meaning & example

nouns Person, place or a thing // der Mann

definite article The // der/die/das

indefinite article A // ein/eine

cases Nominativ // Accusativ // Dativ // Genitive

gender Masculin // Feminin // Neuter

adjectives Describes a nou // die blaue Bluse

prepositions Informs about time & place // in die Schule

verbs Action word // ich gehe

interrogative Wer? Wem? Wo? Wann? Warum? Was?

word order word to end of sentence, verb inverts etc.

tenses Past, Present, Future

modal verbs sollen/ wollen/ mögen/ dürfen/ können/ müssen

present tense ich gehe/ du gehst/ er geht/ wir gehen

perfect tense Recent past/ letter writing/ ich habe ... gemacht

imperfect tense Distant past/ story telling/ ich war/ ich hatte

conditional tense would ... formed using ‘würden’ ... ich würde nicht rauchen

future tense Use ‘werden’: Ich werde zur Schule gehen

past participle gemacht/ gehabt/ gewesen/ gewohnt/ gelebt

infinitive werden/ haben/ sein/ lesen/ machen/ kommen


Section 2 - Nouns What is a noun? A noun is a person, a place or a thing. It is anything you can put the word ‘the’ in front of and it still makes sense.

In German, a noun is one of three genders:

Masculine - der Vater

Feminine - die Mutter

Neuter - das Kind

All nouns in German get a capital letter.

What is a compound noun? A compound noun is a noun made up of two or more nouns. It always takes the gender of the last noun. eg. der Milchmann


Section 3 - Articles & Cases

What is a case? Case refers to the noun or pronoun in a sentence. In German, there are four cases. For Junior Cert, you only need to know three:

1. The Nominative Case2. The Accusative Case3. The Dative Case4. The Genitive Case

What is the Nominative Case? The Nominative Case names the doer or the subject of the sentence.

What is the Accusative Case? The Accusative Case refers to the direct object of the sentence. (The person or thing on the receiving end of the action).

What is the Dative Case? The Dative Case refers to the indirect object of the sentence. It is used with the sense of ‘to/for/from’.

What is the Definite Article? The Definite Article is the word ‘the’. (see der/die/das table)

What is the Indefinite Article? The Indefinite Article is the word ‘a’. (see ein/eine/ein table)


The Definite Article - ‘The’ (der/die/das)

The Indefinite Article - ‘A’ (ein/eine/ein)

Masculine Feminine Neuter Plural

Nominative der die das die

Accusative den die das die

Dative dem der dem den


Nominative ein eine ein keine

Accusative einen eine ein keine

Dative einem einer einem keinen + n on noun


Section 4 - Adjectives What is an adjective? An adjective describes a noun.

In German, the adjective gets an ending. There are three different tables.

Adjective endings after der/die/das

Adjective endings after ein/eine/ein

Endings of adjectives used alone


Nominative e e e en

Accusative en e e en

Dative en en en en


Nominative er e es en

Accusative en e es en

Dative en en en en


Nominative er e es e

Accusative en e es e

Dative em er em en


Section 5 - Prepositions

What is a preposition? A preposition usually tells you about time, manner or place. In German, prepositions

affect the noun coming after them.

Prepositions that always take the Dative

aus - out of bei - at, near mit - with nach - to, after, according to seit - since von - from zu - to gegenüber - opposite

eg. Ich fahre mit dem Bus zur Schule.

Prepositions that take Dative or Accusative ***The accusative shows movement TO a place and the dative shows movement AT

a place***

an - at, on auf - on hinter - behind in - in neben - beside vor - in front of über - over unter - under zwischen - between


Nominative der die das die

Accusative den die das die

Dative dem der dem den


Section 6 - Tenses

Present tense

*In English there are two present tenses but in German there is only ONE presenttense.

eg. Ich wohne = I am living AND I live

Perfect tense

* Conjugated using ‘haben’ or ‘sein’ + past participle of the verb* Haben = regular verbs

eg. Ich habe meine Hausaufgabe gemacht * Sein = verbs showing movement from one place to another

eg. Ich bin ins Kino gegangen * Used when talking about the recent past* Used in letter writing* Germans often use ‘ich hatte’ and ‘ich war’ when talking about the recent past for

convenience even though they are Imperfect tense.

Present tense endings

ich wohne

du wohnst

er/sie/es wohnt

wir wohnen

ihr wohnt

sie wohnen

Sie wohnen


Imperfect tense

* Used when talking about the distant past* Used in story telling

Future Tense

Imperfect tense endings

ich wohnte

du wohntest

er/sie/es wohntet

wir wohnten

ihr wohntet

sie wohnten

Sie wohnten

Future tense conjugation

ich werde meine Hausaufgaben machen

du wirst Fußball spielen

er/sie/es wird Blumen kaufen

wir werden ins Schwimmbad gehen

ihr werdet die Klassenarbeit widerholen

sie werden nach Österreich reisen


Conditional tense

* I would go ... you would stay ... he would come ... we would buy

Sie werden mit dem Auto fahren

Future tense conjugation

Conditional tense

ich würde ... gehen

du würdest ... bleiben

er/sie/es würde ... kommen

wir würden ... kaufen

ihr würdet ... haben

sie würden ... werden

Sie würden ... laufen


Section 7 - Regular verbs What is a verb? A verb is an ‘action’ or ‘doing’ word.

What does ‘conjugate’ mean? It means to say the verb in every possible manner. eg. I am, you are, he is.

What is the first person, second person, third person? I = first person You = second person He or she or it = third person


Section 8 - Irregular verbs

* Most verbs will follow the rules but as always there will be exceptions. The

following is a very long list but you don’t need to know every single one.

* Familiarise yourself with the verbs that appear time and again.

* The majority of verbs in the perfect tense take ‘haben’ but you must familiarise

yourself with the verbs that take ‘sein’.

* ‘Sein’ shows movement from one place to another.

eg. Ich bin nach Deutschland geflogen.

Wir sind mit dem Bus zur Schule gefahren.

* It is helpful to know the Imperfect list as some of them look completely different

and will often appear in the Reading Comprehension.
