    German Dative and Accusative Verbs Flashcards

    Verbs of giving, showing and telling take two objects in German: the person in the Dativ and the thing in the Akkusativ. "Ich gebe dir das Buch" (I give you the book). This deck drills the verbs that work this way, from geben and zeigen to erklären and empfehlen. Each card shows the verb in German, and you flip it for the meaning.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are verbs with dative and accusative?
    Verbs that take two objects, a person and a thing. The person is in the Dativ and the thing in the Akkusativ: "Ich schenke meiner Schwester ein Buch" (I give my sister a book). geben, zeigen, schicken, bringen and erklären are the most common.
    Which verbs are in this deck?
    Every verb from the A1, A2 and B1 word lists whose main pattern is a Dativ person plus an Akkusativ thing.
    How do I remember which object is which?
    Ask Wem? (to whom?) for the Dativ and Was? (what?) for the Akkusativ. The person is almost always the Dativ one. The flashcards help the verbs themselves become familiar, so you only have to think about the two questions.
