At a glance

80 sentences at A2 and B1

At A2, you practise simple clauses with der, die and das. B1 adds dative and genitive forms such as dem, denen, dessen and deren.

Two rules, one word

Gender comes from the preceding noun: der Mann, der … The case comes from the verb in the relative clause: der Mann, dem ich helfe. Together, they determine the form.

See the case

After answering, you see whether the case was nominative, accusative, dative or genitive. This helps you spot what matters more quickly in the next sentence.
