now, you directly know which ones are correct and which ones aren’t.

who can explain why which is correct and which is not?
if don’t get it, underline svdo in different colours
word order!
I you he she it we you they goes before the verb
me him her them us goes after the verb
why?
because these red ones are the subjects, the doers
and these blue ones are the direct objects the things sth is done to, sth happens to, the
receiver of the action (they are visited, they are seen)
in English, word order is fixed and that tells you which is direct object and which is
subject, or which is doer and receiver of the action
in German, word order is more flexible, so we need the accusative case to tell us!
similar to English, the pronouns look a little different.
note: do not confuse the different kinds of pronouns.
personal, possessive, accusative
Ich, mein, mich – Tabelle mit uebersetzungen PPP!
so when do we use the accusative? the accusative is basically the direct object case. we
put the direct object of a sentence into the accusative, that is we use the accusative
pronouns or the accusative endings for nouns and der words and kein words.
also, certain prepositions and certain verbs trigger the accusative case.
let’s start with the pronouns.
