Article and adjective declension is one of the most important and challenging areas of German grammar. Articles and adjectives change their endings depending on gender, number, and grammatical case, and the form of the article directly influences the adjective ending. Understanding these patterns is essential for producing correct and natural German sentences.
In this guide, you will learn:
how definite and indefinite articles decline in German
how adjective endings depend on the article type
the difference between strong, weak, and mixed declension
how declension changes across nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive
This guide helps English-speaking learners recognize declension patterns and apply them confidently in both spoken and written German.
