You have already learned the accusative case with definite and indefinite articles (den, einen). You have also learned
personal pronouns in the nominative case (ich, du, er, etc). Now its time to learn the same pronouns in the
accusative case. They are:
Learning aid: the pronouns for me (mich) and us (uns) are very much like English, so they shouldnt be a problem.
The pronouns for him, her, it and them follow the same pattern as the articles: der (er) becomes den (ihn); die
(sie) stays die (sie), and das (es) stays das (es). That leaves the plural you form (ihr euch), which youll just need to
memorize!
When to use the accusative case, as a reminder: direct objects in a sentence must be in the accusative case.
Note: please do not confuse these pronouns with the possessive adjectives (his, her, my, your) that we learned a few
days ago. Those words (mein, dein, sein) are just like the article ein: (m)eine Mutter. The accusative pronouns,
however, stand alone as a substitute for a noun, just like in English: I see them = Ich sehe sie.
