“Sprache im Alltag” expressions p. 205
Dative:
Identify the direct and indirect objects in these English sentences:
My mom gives me a sports car
My dad shows my mom the hair in his ears
I give the dog a steak
I feed the cat [trick question: no indirect object here!]
Angela Merkel opens the door for me.
We recommend the Riesling to all our customers
I tell you the truth
Identify the Accusative (direct) and Dative (indirect) objects in the German versions of the above sentences:
Meine Mutter gibt mir einen Sportwagen
Der Mann zeigt der Frau die Haare in seinen Ohren
Ich gebe dem Hund ein Steak
Ich füttere die Katze
Angela Merkel öffnet mir die Tür
Ich sage dir die Wahrheit
Revisit Stunde 30 cartoon overhead: “Gib mir den Holzpflock“: identify the Accusative (direct) and Dative (indirect) objects in the command, “Gib mir den Holzpflock”
==> Is the dative (indirect) object of a verb more likely to be a person or animal, or an inanimate object? [a person or animal]
There are not many verbs that actually tend to require indirect objects. The most common examples are giving, showing, and recommending: geben/schenken, zeigen, and (coming in Kapitel 7). But many other verbs can get a dative object if you do them for someone: I cook you a meal, I repair your car for you, I do your homework for you, I explain the dative to you.
For each pair of statements/images, the first statement (using the Dative for the indirect object) corresponds to the “normal” image on the left; the second statement (using just the Accusative) corresponds to the “zany” picture on the right :)
Notice the Dative endings in the “normal” statements!
Time permitting, do a brief role play in which students ask their partner to loan them something, and the partner tries to refuse. Note the phrase “Das ist nett von dir” from the Anlauftext.
