Nominative+and+Accusative

To summarise in a few words:

- for the subjects of sentences - after any form of the verb “to be”
 * __Nominative__** case is used:

- for direct objects (the thing being hit, being read, being had) - after accusative prepositions • Ich frage den Lehrer. (I am asking the {male} teacher.) • Meine Mutter liebt mich. (My mother loves me.)
 * __Accusative__** case is used:

Remember to ask yourself:

Who or what is doing the action? They are the subject of the sentence, therefore use the nominative case.

Who or what is having something done to it? They are the direct object of the sentence, therefore use the accusative case.
