How it works

A classroom labeled in German: fourteen nouns on one drawing, from die Tafel on the wall to der Rucksack on the floor. Each comes with der, die or das, because a German noun's gender is learned with the word.

Read the full guide

Der, die and das

Der, masculine: der Schreibtisch, der Stuhl, der Papierkorb, der Bleistift, der Radiergummi and der Rucksack. Die, feminine: die Tafel, die Uhr, die Tür and die Schere. Das, neuter: das Fenster, das Bücherregal, das Buch and das Lineal.

Every plural takes die

In the plural all three genders take die, and many nouns change a vowel: der Stuhl becomes die Stühle, das Buch die Bücher, der Rucksack die Rucksäcke. Das Fenster keeps its form: die Fenster.

Capital letters

German writes every noun with a capital letter, in the middle of a sentence too. A typed answer counts in small letters.
