Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the definite article "the" in the accusative case for a Neuter noun.

Ich sehe das Auto.

Reset answer
You answered correctly!
In the given sentence, "Ich sehe das Auto," the word "Auto" is a neuter noun. In German, "Auto" is "das Auto" in the nominative case. Since neuter nouns do not change their article in the accusative case, "das" remains "das" even when it is the direct object of the verb "sehen" (to see). Therefore, the correct sentence is "Ich sehe das Auto," which translates to "I see the car" in English. Remembering that neuter and feminine articles do not change in the accusative case can be very helpful. It means that every time you see "das" or "die" as an article for a single noun, it will remain the same in the accusative case. Keep practicing to get the hang of these changes in the different cases!
