The document discusses case markers in German. It explains that nouns take different endings, called markers, depending on their role in the sentence. For locations used with "in", the dative case is used, which has markers that spell "Mr Men": dem, der, dem, den. Examples are provided of nouns in sentences using dative markers to indicate locations.

1. IN + LOCATION = DATIVE

2. Markers
• German words for THE, THIS, MY, A which
come before a noun have endings which we
will call MARKERS.
• The normal (called “nominative” which means
“naming”) markers for “the” are:
masculine = R; feminine = E; neuter = S; plural = E
RESE

3. Examples of RESE markers
• der Wohnort (masculine) = the hometown
• die Stadt (feminine) = the town
• das Dorf (neuter) = the village
• die Leute (plural) = the people
DER DIE DAS DIE

4. Dative Markers
IN + LOCATION = DATIVE
The dative requires different Markers.
They are easy to remember because they spell
“Mr Men”
DEM DER DEM DEN
MRMEN

5. Examples of Mr. Men Markers
• in meinem Wohnort
• in einer Stadt
• in dem Dorf
• in den Ferien (holidays – a place in time?)
It sounds complicated but keep practising and it
will soon come naturally!
