German Grammar & Vocabulary – Rules, Word Lists, and Usage
Grammar may not be the most glamorous part of learning German, but it’s the framework that holds the language together. Without a clear understanding of how articles, verbs, prepositions, and sentence structure work, even a large vocabulary won’t help you form correct or confident sentences. This section brings together the essential grammar rules alongside practical vocabulary lists so you can learn both in tandem.
You’ll start with the building blocks: how gender works in nouns (der, die, das), how to form and use the most common verbs, and how prepositions link ideas together. From there, you’ll explore German word order, which can seem puzzling at first but becomes logical with practice. You’ll also learn how separable verbs operate – a very German feature that’s confusing until you see it in action.
Vocabulary lists in this section aren’t just random collections of words. Each set is grouped by theme, like describing people, talking about the weather, or expressing encouragement, so you can put new words to use immediately. Descriptive adjectives are shown in both written and visual formats to help with retention.
Finally, this section also addresses common grammar mistakes learners make, with clear examples and fixes. Whether you’re preparing for travel, exams, or daily conversation, these articles will help you gain both precision and fluency. Think of this page as your dual-purpose training ground – part grammar workshop, part vocabulary gym.
