Lesson#1
In this deck, we'll explore two important topics in German grammar: reflexive verbs, and verbs that always use a fixed preposition. Mastering these will make your German sound much more natural and accurate.
Lesson#2
Let's start with reflexive verbs. A reflexive verb is one where the action reflects back on the subject. In English, we use pronouns like 'myself', 'yourself', and 'himself', for example, in the sentence 'I wash myself'. German works in a very similar way, using reflexive pronouns.
Lesson#3
Most of the time, the reflexive pronoun is in the accusative case. For 'ich', it is 'mich'. For 'du', it is 'dich'. For 'er', 'sie', or 'es', it is 'sich'. For 'wir', it is 'uns'. For 'ihr', it is 'euch'. And for 'sie' and the formal 'Sie', it is also 'sich'.
