Personal pronouns in Accusative case in German

In German, personal pronouns change in the accusative case to indicate the direct object of a sentence – the noun that is receiving the action of the verb. Here are the personal pronouns in the accusative case:

1. Singular:

• masculine: mich (me), dich (you), ihn (him)
• feminine: mich (me), dich (you), sie (her)
• neuter: mich (me), dich (you), es (it)

1. Plural:

• masculine and neuter: uns (us), euch (you), sie (them)
• feminine: uns (us), euch (you), sie (them)

Examples:

• Ich sehe dich. (I see you.)
• Er hat mich angerufen. (He called me.)
• Sie hat ihn eingeladen. (She invited him.)
• Das Buch interessiert mich. (The book interests me.)
• Wir helfen euch. (We help you.)
• Sie kennen uns nicht. (They don’t know us.)

Remember that the accusative case is used for the direct object of a sentence, while the nominative case is used for the subject of a sentence.
