I want to know about "accustive" and "nominative" causes in German?
Could anyone answer to the following question?
What is "nomianative" and "accustive" causes in German?
Where we can use "eine" and "ein"?
To correct Garett, dem Mann is in the dative case, and the proper conjugation of 'sehen' is 'sieht'. The sentence should be, "Der Hund sieht den Mann".
Everything else he said looks alright, and TBD's post is more than informative enough for me to avoid repeating it.
Of you want to learn German grammar like Accustives and Nominatives, there is something you need to memorize.
De Der, Die, Das en Plural lists.
Memorize this:
DER DIE DAS DIE
DES DER DES DER
DEM DER DEM DEN
DEN DIE DAS DIE
4 coloms, 4 rows.
The first colom applies to all Male words.
The second colom applies to all Female words.
The third colom applies to all Non-Gender words.
The fourth colom applies to all Plurals.
The first row is used for the subject.
Example: Wein (Wine) is the subject in a sentence (The one doing the verb)
The wine flows. The verb is flows. Who or what flows? The wine.
Wein is a Male word so you look at the first colom.
Wein is the subject so you look at the first row.
You look it up above and in row 1, colom 1 you see: DER
So for THE in 'The wine flows' you use DER
Der wein fließt. The wine flows.
Note: (The 1 row is also used after the German verbs Sein, Werden, Bleiben
Example: Ist der wein heiß? Is the wine hot? Wein comes after Ist which is the verb Sein. So you use first row. And because Wein is male you use first colom. So Der it is)
There is still a part left out, but this is the hardest part in German grammar. I am sure that you'll still be confused after reading all this.
Send me a message if you want to have me explain each row and colom in detail and for the part that I left out.

She accidentally posted that one under 'English'. So she reposted it here.
I do not understand why you have put the same question about accusative and nominative cases twice under the same title "German" at the same time.
Some people have tried to answer it but I think it could have been explained in easier way.
In my opinion you do not have to memorize the table Der Die Das Die ... This table can be used for reference. So learn Cases one by one and check the table.
To edit my above post because I'm not sure if it's possible, I meant to say:
Ein and eine both mean 'a'. Ein would be used for a masculine noun, such as ein Hund. Eine would be used for a feminine noun, such as eine Frau.
