Declension Exercises

Here you will find German declension exercises organised in two complementary ways: by word class —articles, pronouns, nouns and adjectives— and by cause of case, that is, which element of the sentence —a preposition, a verb, a syntactic function— determines the case to use.

By word class

Declension affects each word class in a specific way. Practise articles, pronouns, nouns and adjectives separately to master their endings tables.

By cause of case

Knowing when to use each case requires recognising what triggers it: a preposition, a verb, the function of the noun in the sentence... These exercises train you to identify the cause and apply the correct case.
