	Ok, having recently found Kingsley's post about verbs, I thought I'd post here and for those who are fluent (or at least good) at german, can maybe post more to this thread ---- ich habe du hast (formal, Sie haben) er, sie, es hat wir haben ihr habt sie haben So you would say: Ich habe fünf Katzen und ein Hund. Endings after prepositions are more difficult. Prepositions: durch, für, gegen, ohne, um = dative (I THINK?) aus, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, zu = accusative One more handy verb, SEIN (to be): ich bin du bist (formal, Sie sind) er, sie, es ist wir sind ihr seid sie sind You can always remember how to spell ie and ei combos in German, because the second letter is pronounced long. So you would say: Ich liebe meine Katzen!

	As for prepositions... There are wechseln (sp?) prepositions that can go either accusative or dative. But there's a trick to remembering the dative... It's a song: Frère Jacques Aus, bei, mit, nach. Aus, bei, mit, nach. Seit, von, zu. Seit, von, zu. Alle mit dem dativ. Alle mit dem dativ. Dem, den, der.

	I just found this website... doesn't look like easy 'rules', but it's good info! http://montgomery.cas.muohio.edu/meyersde/kitchensink/germa n-gender/index.html There are lots of websites out there... this one makes something else very clear. Different genders can change the meaning of the word. http://class.georgiasouthern.edu/german/grammar/gr-gend2.htm Edited by author Fri Mar 28, '08 2:47pm PST

	Hondo, you need to learn the Der Das and Die with their words. Then if it is plural you can change it, or if it is plural and fem you change it or...MOL!!!!!! Versenden? Liebe, Rue Rue Edited by author Wed Apr 2, '08 3:06pm PST
