Hello italki people! Can anyone help me with German, please? I have two questions about my studybook (it's Mit Erfolg zu Start Deutsch A1): 1. See the screenshot #1, sentence 4. The right answer (according to the keys) is that "Dem Mann" is Ergaenzung. Why isn't it Subjekt? 2. See the screenshot #2. Why are there sometimes used "ihr" as a pronoun when it implies singular pronoun like "Sie" or "du"? (For example, "Ihr Geburtstag" has the answer started with "Ich habe", so here definitely should be "Sie" or "du") Thanks in advance!!!
