What this unit gives you, and what you will be able to do at the end.
Why every noun is capitalized and why you never learn one without der, die or das.
German writes every noun with a capital letter and gives every noun a gender. Neither is optional, and the gender is rarely guessable — which is why you never learn a noun on its own.
Learning objectives
- Capitalise German nouns correctly.
- Store every new noun with der, die or das and its plural.
- Recognise nouns in a written sentence.
Can-Do outcomes
- I can write a short sentence with correctly capitalised nouns.
- I can give the article of the nouns I have learned.
- I can say why “Computer” alone is an incomplete vocabulary entry.
