| Michael: | Hallo, da sind wir wieder! |
| Jana: | Hallo Michael. Und hallo liebe Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörer. |
| Michael: | Ich bin gespannt auf unser Thema. |
| Jana: | Heute besprechen wir den Akkusativ. |
| Michael: | Ach ja, richtig! Such a weird word, accusative... sounds like we are accusing someone of a crime. |
| Jana: | Right, that could actually be a helpful reminder. |
| Michael: | Wie bitte? |
| Jana: | Yes. It can remind us that there needs to be another person or thing. There is a simple rule, if there is only one subject in a sentence, it has to be the nominative. But if there are two people or two things, one of them will be a direct object, which requires the accusative. |
