Practice German personal pronouns, ich, mich, mir, and the rest, across nominative, accusative, and dative cases, since German splits him into ihn and ihm.
Er sees him, and English keeps the exact same word for him whether it's a direct object or an indirect one. German doesn't. Him splits into ihn for the accusative, the direct object, and ihm for the dative, the indirect object, and a learner who's never had to make that distinction in English guesses wrong close to half the time. Her runs into the same problem, sie in the accusative, ihr in the dative, and both look nothing like the English word they're standing in for. Nominative marks the subject, ich, du, er, sie, es, wir, ihr, sie or the formal Sie. Accusative marks the direct object, mich, dich, ihn, sie, es, uns, euch, sie or Sie. Dative marks the indirect object, mir, dir, ihm, ihr, ihm, uns, euch, ihnen or Ihnen. First and second person singular change the most, ich to mich to mir, du to dich to dir, while third person plural and the formal Sie barely shift shape between cases at all. Set [PRONOUN_CONTEXT?] to a specific sentence or situation you want pronouns drilled in, or leave it blank and I'll build a mixed set of everyday sentences. Focus is [CASE_FOCUS:select:Nominative only,Accusative only,Dative only,Mixed drill across all three]. I need [DRILL_COUNT:number:10-40] prompts at [CEFR_LEVEL:select:A1 (beginner),A2 (elementary),B1 (intermediate)]. For every prompt, build a short sentence with an English pronoun that needs replacing, and ask for the correct German pronoun in context, not the pronoun in isolation, since case only makes sense attached to what the pronoun is doing in that specific sentence. When a prompt tests him or her, note whether the correct German answer is the accusative or dative form and explain it with the classic to-test, if to could sit in front of the English pronoun without changing the meaning, the German answer is dative. Close by drilling third person singular hardest if the mixed focus is chosen, since ihn, ihm, sie, and ihr are the four forms most likely to get crossed with each other, while first and second person singular, though they change shape completely between cases, rarely get confused with the wrong case once a learner has seen the pattern once.

Get Early AccessHim stays him in English whether it's a direct object or an indirect one. German splits it, ihn for the accusative, ihm for the dative, and both look nothing like the word they're replacing. Her does the same, sie in the accusative, ihr in the dative. English speakers default to whichever form they learned first and get caught out constantly on the other one.
Set [PRONOUN_CONTEXT] to a specific sentence or situation, or leave it blank for a mixed set at [CEFR_LEVEL], and choose [CASE_FOCUS] to isolate nominative, accusative, or dative, or mix all three. Every prompt keeps the pronoun inside a real sentence, never tested alone, since case only makes sense attached to what the pronoun is doing.
Pronouns follow their own forms, but the article system behind them runs on the same four cases, and the German noun gender and article practice generator drills that side directly. Building both sets together shows the case system from two angles at once. Drop the sentence set into the Dock Editor and mark up ihn versus ihm until the split feels automatic.
Drop this into the Dock Editor, or paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, then enter a specific sentence or situation in [PRONOUN_CONTEXT], or leave it blank for a mixed set at [CEFR_LEVEL].
Set [CASE_FOCUS] to nominative, accusative, or dative only, or drill all three mixed together.
Pick [DRILL_COUNT], then apply the to-test to any answer you're unsure of before moving on.
Stop defaulting to whichever pronoun form you learned first. Every prompt keeps the pronoun inside a sentence so its case is obvious from context, not guessed at.
Generate a case-specific pronoun set that isolates the accusative and dative confusion directly, instead of burying it inside a general grammar worksheet.
