Definite articles in the Dative and Accusative case
Last time, we took a look at how the definite articles “der, die, das” change in the Genitive case.
Today: Dative and Accusative case! You have to make changes in both:
Dative: Ich gebe DEM Mann / DER Frau / DEM Kind einen Apfel.(I give the man / woman / child an apple)
Accusative: Ich verlasse DEN Laden / DIE Schule / DAS Haus. (I leave the store / school / house).
Let’s summarize all of the changes:
(1) der, die, das (Nom.)
(2) des, der, des (Gen.)
(3) dem, der, dem (Dat.)
(4) den, die, das (Acc.)

Der Name DES Mannes / DER Frau / DES Kindes…
