German Grammar – I study for 2 hours everyday 🇩🇪

Ich lerne ____ Tag 2 Stunden

The correct answer to fill in the blank in the sentence “Ich lerne ____ Tag 2 Stunden” is “jeden,” which translates to “every” in English. The sentence would then read “Ich lerne jeden Tag 2 Stunden,” or in English, “I study for 2 hours every day.”

The reason “jeden” is the correct answer here is because it indicates a repeated or habitual action that occurs on a daily basis. In German, “jeden” is a form of the indefinite article used with masculine nouns in the accusative case to express recurring events.

“Tag” is a masculine noun, and when talking about recurring events on specific days or dates, the accusative case is used. In the accusative, the indefinite article “ein” (a, an) becomes “einen” for masculine nouns. However, since we’re using “jeder” (every), which declines like the indefinite article, it becomes “jeden” before a masculine noun in the accusative case:

– Nominative: jeder Tag (every day, when ‘day’ is the subject)
– Accusative: jeden Tag (every day, when ‘day’ is the object of an action, as in this case for the term of studying)

Other examples include:
– jeden Montag (every Monday)
– jeden Abend (every evening)
– jeden Monat (every month) for masculine or neuter nouns like “Monat” (month)

Using “jeden” correctly according to case and gender is a key aspect of German grammar that helps convey the intended meaning with precision.
