Questions & Answers about Die Gebühr für den Club ist sehr hoch.
Why is it den Club and not dem Club?
The preposition für (for) always requires the accusative case. Since Club is a masculine noun (der Club), its article changes to den in the accusative.
Does the adjective hoch change its spelling if it comes before the noun?
Yes! When hoch comes before a noun, it loses its 'c' and takes an adjective ending. For example, 'a high fee' translates to eine hohe Gebühr. In our sentence, it comes directly after the verb, so it keeps its basic spelling and takes no endings.
How would I use the new preposition außer with this vocabulary?
If you wanted to say 'Except for the fee, the club is great,' you would use außer, which always takes the dative case. Since die Gebühr is feminine, the article changes to der in the dative: Außer der Gebühr ist der Club toll.
What is the difference between die Gebühr and der Preis?
Der Preis generally means 'the price' of a regular item, while die Gebühr specifically refers to a 'fee' or 'charge' usually associated with institutions, memberships, or official services.
