welcher? dieser, jeder (which? this, each/every)

These three words keep popping up, so it's time we take a formal look at them. They are used with nouns exactly the way der, die, das are, so can you guess their forms? Remember, the last letter will match that of der, die, das.

jeder, jede, jedes
"each, every" Masculine Feminine Neuter Plural Why did "jeder" change to "alle" in the plural? For the same reason that "each" in English becomes "all (the)" in the plural! "Each boy has a book. All the boys have a book."

Writing Practice Gehen wir zum Markt.
Let's go shopping at the market. For each of the items below, the Marktfrau will tell you they're fresh (frisch) and ask which one you want. Then you respond by saying you'll take "this" one. or "these." Notice that in the market lady's statement, the item is the subject of the sentence, but in her question and your answer, it is the direct object. Notice also that in this situation we're using the formal form of "you" since you don't know each other. When you have your answers, click on the first two columns to see what you should have written. The first one is done for you.
