Personal Pronouns seem more complicated at first, but remember you can do it. \newline % Row Count 6 (+ 2)
 She, They, and You(formal) all use "sie/Sie." In writing a good way to tell them apart is:  \newline % Row Count 8 (+ 2)
You(formal) is always uppercase "Sie" and comes after a verb that ends in -en.  \newline % Row Count 10 (+ 2)
She is typically followed by "ist"(is) or a verb thats has a -t endings (with exeptions).  \newline % Row Count 12 (+ 2)
They is typically followed by "sind" (are) or comes before a verb that ends in -en.  \newline % Row Count 14 (+ 2)
Example:  \newline % Row Count 15 (+ 1)
kaufen Sie/Sie sind | you buy/you are \newline % Row Count 16 (+ 1)
sie kauft/sie ist | she buys/she is \newline % Row Count 17 (+ 1)
sie kaufen/sie sind / they buy/ they are \newline % Row Count 18 (+ 1)
Sometimes you will have to go off context. \newline % Row Count 19 (+ 1)
A note on Sie: I am not too sure why the verb comes before the pronoun, ive heard that its because it can be seen as more of a demand. Ive also heard that its a bit old fashioned, but take these with a grain of salt, and maybe ask a few native speakers to get their opinion.% Row Count 25 (+ 6)

\mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{Normative case is the simplest one, and is the subject of a sentence. This means in the thing preforming the action. \newline % Row Count 3 (+ 3)
You can usually tell that something is Normative if its followed by "Sein"(to be) or "ist"(its) as in "This thing is something." \newline % Row Count 6 (+ 3)
Examples: \newline % Row Count 7 (+ 1)
{\bf{Meine Mutter}} ist Ärzt (my mother is a doctor) \newline % Row Count 9 (+ 2)
{\bf{Der Fisch}} ist rot (the fish is red) \newline % Row Count 10 (+ 1)
{\bf{Der Hund}} bei{\ss}t den Mann (the dog bites the man) Note: The man is in the accusative case \newline % Row Count 12 (+ 2)

\SetRowColor{white}
\mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{The Dative case in English is known as the Indirect object, The Indirect object is used when referring to something that isnt effected by the verb. Dative is used after certain verbs and prepositions, these must be memorised. \newline % Row Count 5 (+ 5)
Example: \newline % Row Count 6 (+ 1)
Der Polizist gibt {\bf{dem Fahrer}} einen Strafzettel. (The policeman is giving the driver a ticket.) \newline % Row Count 8 (+ 2)
In this example the Dative case is "the driver" as the police man is giving a ticket to him, and not giving the driver to something. Since the police man is giving the ticket that makes it the Direct Object and therefore is in Accusative. \newline % Row Count 13 (+ 5)
The indirect object (dative) is usually the receiver of the direct object (accusative).  \newline % Row Count 15 (+ 2)
A tip in identifying the Dative case is if when translating "to" can be added.  "the policeman gives the ticket {\bf{to}} the driver." \newline % Row Count 18 (+ 3)
Note: in Dative every gendered article changes unlike Accusative where only Masculine changes.% Row Count 20 (+ 2)

\SetRowColor{white}
\mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{The accusitave case is very veryimportent. It is the Direct object, this means its effected by a Transitive Verb. \newline % Row Count 3 (+ 3)
The order of the words may change compared to english word order, but as long as you have the proper accusative articles, the meaning remains clear.  \newline % Row Count 6 (+ 3)
Example: \newline % Row Count 7 (+ 1)
{\bf{Den Mann}} bei{\ss}t der Hund. (The dog bites the man) \newline % Row Count 9 (+ 2)
Whats a Transitive verb? \newline % Row Count 10 (+ 1)
A Transitive Verb is a type of verb that needs to be followed by an object \newline % Row Count 12 (+ 2)
Examples: \newline % Row Count 13 (+ 1)
ich habe... (i have) \newline % Row Count 14 (+ 1)
sie kauft... (she buys) \newline % Row Count 15 (+ 1)
er kann... (he can) \newline % Row Count 16 (+ 1)
These dont make sense without a second object to recieve these actions. \newline % Row Count 18 (+ 2)
Examples of Non-Transitive Verbs: \newline % Row Count 19 (+ 1)
ich schlafe (i sleep) \newline % Row Count 20 (+ 1)
er wartet (he waited) \newline % Row Count 21 (+ 1)
sie tanzt (she danced) \newline % Row Count 22 (+ 1)
These are not Transitive Verbs because you cannot sleep a man, or dance a pear, or wait a rock. \newline % Row Count 24 (+ 2)
There are 2 exeptions to this rule, sein(to be) and werden(to become) They take a second object but do not count.  \newline % Row Count 27 (+ 3)
If you know your German Cases, a good clue is that all verbs that take the helping verb sein (to be) are intransitive.  \newline % Row Count 30 (+ 3)

\mymulticolumn{1}{x{3.833cm}}{The Genitive Case shows possession in German. There are also "Genitive Prepositions" that will change an object into this case. \newline % Row Count 3 (+ 3)
Genitive isnt commonly used, especially when speaking. Your more likely to find it in writing in my experience.  \newline % Row Count 6 (+ 3)
Its more common to see people use "von"(of) and the Dative Case. \newline % Row Count 8 (+ 2)
Example: \newline % Row Count 9 (+ 1)
