Questions & Answers about Das Mädchen überlebt den Blutverlust mithilfe der schnellen Wiederbelebung.
Why does Wiederbelebung take the article der here if it is a feminine noun?
The preposition mithilfe (with the help of) requires the genitive case. Since Wiederbelebung is feminine, its definite article changes from die to der in the genitive.
Can I write mithilfe as two words, like mit Hilfe?
Yes, both spellings are acceptable. You can write mithilfe (one word, acting as a preposition taking the genitive) or mit Hilfe (two words). If you use the two-word version, you will also frequently see it combined with von and the dative case, though keeping the genitive as seen in this sentence is equally correct.
Why isn't the verb separated at the end of the sentence (for example, lebt ... über)?
The prefix über- can be separable or inseparable depending on the verb. In the case of überleben (to survive), it is inseparable. Therefore, it stays firmly attached to the verb stem in all tenses, and its past participle does not get a -ge- prefix (it is simply überlebt).
Why does the adjective schnellen have an -en ending?
