Don't understand this- German How do you know when to say einen and when to say ein. For example, do you say mehreren Leuten or mehrere Leute oder mehreren Leute. How do you know when to add an ending and when not to?

you check „Leute“ for its grammatical function in the phrase. Is it the Subjekt, Akkusativ- or Dativ- Objekt, Genitiv- Objekt. Accordingly it will be Leute, Leute, Leuten or Leute. Mehrere will take the same Form. mehreren Leute will never be found.

When you learn the nouns you have to learn what article goes with them, that means whether the word is male, female or neutral. Then depending on the place in the sentence the ending of the article,adjective and noun changes. The people = die Leute If you are interested, I can give you some good websites that are free.
