Questions & Answers about Dieses Angebot gilt ab sofort für jeden Nutzer.

How does the preposition ab work here with the word sofort?
The preposition ab means "starting from" or "as of" for future events. While ab usually requires the dative case (like ab dem nächsten Monat), the word sofort (immediately) is an adverb, so it doesn't take any case endings. ab sofort is a very common fixed phrase meaning "effective immediately".
What is the infinitive of the verb gilt, and why does it have an "i"?
The infinitive is gelten, which means "to be valid" or "to apply". It is a strong verb that changes its stem vowel from "e" to "i" in the "you" and "he/she/it" forms. Because Dieses Angebot acts as "it", we use the conjugated form gilt.
Why is it für jeden Nutzer with an "-en" ending on jeden?
The preposition für (for) always forces the following noun into the accusative case. Nutzer (user) is a masculine noun, so the word jeder (every) must take the masculine accusative ending -en, becoming jeden.
Why does the sentence start with Dieses and not Dieser or Diese?
Angebot (offer) is a neuter noun (das Angebot). Since it is the subject of the sentence doing the action (in the nominative case), the word for "this" needs the neuter nominative ending -es, making it Dieses.
