Dative
Case
The dative case corresponds to indirect
objects. Usually in English, we use the words
to or for to indicate an indirect
object. But German relies on the endings of
the dative case. Here are the dative forms
of the definite and indefinite articles.
Definite and Indefinite Articles

Masc. |
Fem. |

dem |
der |

den |
| Indefinite |
einem |
einer |
einem |
keinen |
Note: Those same masculine
nouns that added an -(e)n in the accusative form
also add an -(e)n in the dative form. And
all plural nouns add an -(e)n in the dative
plural, unless they already end in an -n or -s.
And wem (to/for whom) is the dative of wer
(who).
Personal Pronouns

In sentences that show with both a direct
and indirect object, the noun in the dative case precedes
the accusative noun, unless the accusative case is
a pronoun. |
