Questions & Answers about Die alten Bauern kennen unsere großen Felder.
Why do both adjectives (alten and großen) end in -en?
In the plural, adjectives take an -en ending when they come after a definite article (like die) or a possessive article (like unsere). That is why we say die alten (the old) and unsere großen (our big).
Why is the word for "our" written as unsere instead of just unser?
Felder (fields) is a plural noun, and it is the direct object of the sentence (accusative case). For plural nouns, possessive articles like unser take an -e ending, becoming unsere.
Why does the sentence use kennen instead of wissen for "know"?
In German, kennen means to be personally familiar with a person, place, or thing (like the fields). You use wissen when you know a fact or a piece of information (like knowing where the fields are).
What is the singular form of Bauern?
The singular is der Bauer (the farmer). To form the plural, you simply add an -n, making it die Bauern.
