Pronouns in German

Personal Pronouns

Used to replace people or things in sentences.

💡 Tip: The nominative case is for subjects, accusative for direct objects, dative for indirect objects, and genitive for possession.

💡 Note: Possessive pronouns behave like adjectives and decline based on the noun they modify.

Possessive Pronouns

Show ownership and change according to gender and case.

💡 Tip: Reflexive verbs (e.g., sich waschen – to wash oneself) always require reflexive pronouns.

Reflexive Pronouns

Used when the subject and object are the same person.

Relative Pronouns

Used to introduce relative clauses (who, which, that).

💡 Example: "Das ist der Mann, der hier arbeitet." (That is the man who works here.)

Die Erklärung der Pronomen in Deutsch war sehr hilfreich und hat mein Verständnis erheblich verbessert.
