Hi Dan,

in this case it is "Das Baby schläft auf der Decke." You are right though that "Decke" is a fem. noun, but in this sentence you wanna say "I lie ON the blanket", that is why you need to change the article.

If "Decke" is feminine, should it not be: Das Baby schläft auf die Decke (not "...der Decke").

Thanks

Dan

Hi Grant,

yes, great that you recognized the difference! "Die Decke" has two meanings, "blanket" on the one hand, "ceiling" on the other. :smile:

Best,

Das ist lustig " Das Baby schläft auf der Decke." in Google Translate is "The baby sleeping on the ceiling"

Google Translate sure has its faults

Hallo Loren,

Danke für den Kommentar!

Just a few little corrections:

Ich dusche abends (am Abend is also grammatically correct but abends sounds more natural) und gucke Fernsehen. Danach schlafe ich.

der Fernseher - TV

Fernsehen gucken - to watch TV

I hope this helps!

Vielen Dank!

Mein Vater kehrt am Abend zurück.

Am Abend ich dusche in der Dusche und ich schaue Fernseher. Danach ich schlafe.

Es ist richtig?

Hi Felix,

These verbs are in 3rd person singular (as they are showing are person doing something" "Sie schaut." "Er duscht."

I hope this helps!

I have noticed that some of those verbs are not in infinitive form (-en end), they end in -t,

for example schaut and not schauen or duscht and not duschen,

what does it mean? It´s a different verb tense or what??

It would have been nice to have a translation to the words of the images you present, it's not really great to let people guess.
