Breakdown of Ich poste den Artikel im Internet.
Questions & Answers about Ich poste den Artikel im Internet.
Because Artikel is the direct object of the verb poste, it must be in the accusative case.
- Artikel is masculine: der Artikel (nominative).
- In the accusative singular, masculine der changes to den.
So:
- Nominative (subject): Der Artikel ist interessant. – The article is interesting.
- Accusative (object): Ich poste den Artikel. – I post the article.
In your sentence, Ich is the subject, and den Artikel is what is being posted (the direct object), so den is required.
