Every German noun has a gender – der, die or das – and the article changes again in every case. Most learners guess. But a large share of German nouns follow patterns: the ending, the meaning or the way a word is built gives the gender away. This workbook teaches those patterns, shows where they stop working, and gives you the practice to make them stick.
14 short units take you from natural gender and the typical endings to plurals and the articles in all four cases. Each unit starts with a clear explanation in plain English and rule tables, followed by worksheets that move from single nouns to full sentences.
For self-study or alongside a course, levels A1 to B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference. In the paperback there is room to write in every worksheet; in the e-book, every worksheet is a numbered list linked to its answers.
