# Wortschatz & Grammatik A1 — Abschnitt L: Pronomen
|
||
|
||
Seiten 87–88 (Teil 2 Grammatik) · Lösungen S. 113 · Übungen L1–L2
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
- Skill focus: Grammatik (personal pronouns as Akkusativ/Dativ objects,
|
||
demonstrative pronouns replacing nouns)
|
||
- Topic: matching statement pairs using pronoun objects (guest-list/
|
||
invitation context), demonstrative pronouns ("der/die/das" used as
|
||
standalone pronouns, not articles) in shop/conversation dialogues
|
||
- Relates to *Menschen* Lektion(en): **L6** (Akkusativ — L1 extends this
|
||
to full personal-pronoun objects: mich/dich/ihn/sie/uns/euch/sie/Sie).
|
||
**New beyond Menschen A1.1**: **Dativ personal pronouns** (mir, dir,
|
||
ihm, ihr, uns, euch, ihnen, Ihnen — L1's second half) are not covered
|
||
in Menschen A1.1, which doesn't formally introduce the Dativ case.
|
||
**Demonstrative pronouns** (der/die/das used to mean "that one," as in
|
||
L2) are also **new** — a distinctly different function from the
|
||
definite article the student already knows.
|
||
|
||
## Grammar covered
|
||
|
||
### L1: Personal pronouns — Akkusativ (reinforces L6) + Dativ (new)
|
||
|
||
**Akkusativ object pronouns** (reinforces Menschen L6's Akkusativ intro):
|
||
mich, dich, ihn, sie, es, uns, euch, sie, Sie — used as the direct object
|
||
of a verb like einladen (Ich lade dich ein = I invite you).
|
||
|
||
**Dativ object pronouns** — **new grammar**, not in Menschen A1.1:
|
||
|
||
| Person | Dativ pronoun |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| ich | mir |
|
||
| du | dir |
|
||
| er | ihm |
|
||
| sie | ihr |
|
||
| es | ihm |
|
||
| wir | uns |
|
||
| ihr | euch |
|
||
| sie (Pl) | ihnen |
|
||
| Sie | Ihnen |
|
||
|
||
Used with verbs that take a Dativ object, like **gefallen** (to please):
|
||
Das gefällt mir = "I like that" (literally "that pleases to-me").
|
||
|
||
### L2: Demonstrativpronomen — **new grammar**
|
||
The words der/die/das/den/dem etc. can stand alone as a pronoun meaning
|
||
"that one/it" (referring back to something already mentioned), instead
|
||
of functioning as the definite article before a noun:
|
||
- "Welcher Pullover gefällt Ihnen am besten? — Ich möchte bitte **den**
|
||
da." (that one there)
|
||
- "Ist die Postkarte für John? — **Dem** habe ich schon eine
|
||
geschrieben." (to him)
|
||
|
||
This is grammatically distinct from the definite article the student
|
||
already knows (der/die/das + noun) — here there's **no noun following**,
|
||
and the pronoun itself carries case marking, functioning much like a
|
||
personal pronoun with extra emphasis ("that one specifically," not just
|
||
"it").
|
||
|
||
## Exercise summary
|
||
|
||
1. **L1 Gästeliste** — match 11 sentence pairs describing who's inviting
|
||
whom (Akkusativ pronoun practice, part 1), then complete 7 more
|
||
sentences with the correct Dativ pronoun (part 2).
|
||
2. **L2 Meinen Sie die da?** — match 10 sentence pairs, each answer using
|
||
a demonstrative pronoun to refer back to something in the question.
|
||
|
||

||
|
||
- L1 (part 1, matching): 1→f) 2→d) 3→a) 4→h) 5→b) 6→c) 7→k) 8→j) 9→e)
|
||
10→g) 11→i).
|
||
- L1 (part 2, Dativ pronouns): 12. mir 13. ihm 14. euch 15. Ihnen
|
||
16. ihr 17. dir 18. uns.
|
||
- L2: 1→f) 2→d) 3→a) 4→h) 5→j) 6→b) 7→i) 8→e) 9→c) 10→g).

## Notes / gotchas
|
||
|
||
- **Both grammar points in this section (Dativ pronouns, demonstrative
|
||
pronouns) go beyond Menschen A1.1**, which sticks to Nominativ and
|
||
Akkusativ (masculine only) throughout its 12 lessons. Present as
|
||
enrichment, not review — don't assume the student can already form
|
||
these without guidance.
|
||
- **Demonstrative pronouns are easy to confuse with the definite article**
|
||
since they're spelled identically (der, die, das, den, dem ...) — the
|
||
distinguishing feature is that a demonstrative pronoun **replaces** a
|
||
noun entirely rather than preceding one, and it carries slightly more
|
||
emphasis than a plain personal pronoun (es/ihn/sie) would.
|
||
- **gefallen + Dativ** (Das gefällt mir) is a genuinely common everyday
|
||
pattern worth teaching even before full Dativ mastery — it's a fixed
|
||
phrase pattern much like "möchte," so it can be taught as a chunk.
|
||
- **This is another short section (2 sub-exercises, 2 pages)** — pairs
|
||
naturally with Section K for a single combined practice session if
|
||
desired.
