Introduction
Einführung
The dative articles are the equivalents of “the” and “a” when used with indirect objects and dative prepositions.
Indirect objects are the people, places and things in a phrase that receive the consequence of the action. For instance, in the sentence “she passes him the ball”, “him” is indirect object because “she” (the subject) acts upon “the ball” (the direct object) but does not directly affect “him”.
Like the German articles in other cases, dative articles also change depending on gender and number.
