Questions & Answers about Er hat mehr Geld.
Why is Geld written with a capital letter?
In German, every single noun (a word for a person, place, thing, or idea) must be capitalized. Since Geld means money, it is a noun and gets a capital letter.
Why do we use hat instead of haben here?
haben (to have) is an irregular verb. While the base dictionary form is haben, it changes to hat when used with er (he), sie (she), or es (it). So, he has is always er hat.
Is mehr related to the German word for much or a lot?
Yes! Just like in English where more is the next step up from much, mehr is the comparative form of viel (much or a lot).
Why doesn't mehr get a grammar ending before the noun?
Normally in German, words that describe a noun might get special endings depending on the gender or case in the sentence. But mehr is a convenient exception that never changes its shape. It always stays exactly as mehr, no matter what noun comes after it.
