Verb - a word that describes an action or state of being

Subject - noun/pronoun that does the action

Direct Object - noun/pronoun that has the action done to it (being verb-ed)

Indirect Object - recipient, who is, for example, given or sent the thing in question; "to whom/for whom"

Prepositions - tell where something/someone is in relation to another in time or place, or can indicate direction

Case - shows the role that a word or words play in a German sentence.  The form of articles, determiners, nouns, pronouns, and adjectives preceding them change according to case.

	männlich (masculine)	weiblich (feminine)	sächlich (neuter)	plural
Nominative (Subject)	R* ein	E eine	S* ein	E Keine
Accusative (Direct Object, prepositions, definite time)	N einen	E eine	S* ein	E keine
Dative (Indirect Object, prepositions, dative verbs/use)	M einem	R einer	M einem	N + n keinen
Genetive (show possession, prepositions, indefinite time)	S + s eines	R einer	S + s eines	R keiner

Adjective Ending "E-hook" Rules:  This method should be thought of as a mathematical approach to learning and computing the correct endings (much like the above method for determining which articles and the like to use).

1.  Look before the adjective (you're looking at the possible "der/ein/welch/etc" word, or, if none, then adjective).  

    Do you see the letter (from the RESE, NESE, MRMN chart that indicate the gender and case of the noun)?

2.  YES  -->    a.  if letter is in "e-hook" -> add -e  to adjective (hence, the name "e-hook" rules!!!)

                b.  if letter is out of "e-hook" -> add -en to adjective

   NO  -->  put the letter onto the adjective  (this is usually in the case of adjectives following ein-words and/or unpreceded adjectives)
