Help with German adjective endings vs case Hi Can someone please explain why the following endings are the way they are? I used the endings table found here: www.learn-german-smarter.com/learn-german-adjective-endings/ 1. Trägst du ein__ schick__ Ledermantel? 2. Mein__ neu__ Schuhe kosten 250 Euro. 3. Ich trage mein rot__ kleid oft, aber ich trage öfter dieses gelb__ kleid. 4. Welche Krawatte steht besser zu dies__ grau__ Anzug? My answers (which were wrong): 1. Ledermantel is Maskulin akkusativ with an indefinite article 'ein', so -en from Table 2 for both Trägst du einEN schickEN Ledermantel? 2. Schuhe is plural and nominative with a possessive pronoun so also uses Table 2, so use -e for both (not sure what to do when there is a pronoun AND adjective that needs an ending): MeinE neuE Schuhe kosten 250 Euro. 3. Kleid is Neuter and akkusative with a possessive pronoun so also Table 2 so -es: Ich trage mein rotES kleid oft, aber ich trage öfter dieses gelbES kleid. 4. Anzug is Maskulin and in dative case (because anything after mit is dative?) with a definite article, so uses -en from Table 1: Welche Krawatte steht besser zu diesEN grauEN Anzug?
