In German, words like 'der', 'die', and 'das' are like our English word 'the'. However, these words can change a bit depending on how they're used in a sentence. Just like how we might say 'I' when talking about ourselves, but 'me' when someone gives something to us. So, while the list of articles below has the basic forms, remember that in German, they might look a little different in different situations. For example, 'der' might sometimes become 'den' or 'dem' in different situations, but this list is a good starting point because it gives us the most common form.
