Questions & Answers about Nach dem Training will ich nur kurz duschen und mein Duschgel wieder in den Schrank einräumen.

Why is it dem Training and not das Training?

Because nach takes the dative case.

• das Training = nominative/accusative
• dem Training = dative

So:

• nach dem Training = after the training / after training

This is a fixed grammar pattern: nach + dative.

Why does the sentence start with Nach dem Training, and why is it will ich instead of ich will?

German main clauses follow the verb-second rule: the finite verb must be in the second position.

Here, Nach dem Training is placed first for emphasis or context. Once that happens, the finite verb will must come next, and the subject ich comes after it.

So:

• Ich will nach dem Training ...
• Nach dem Training will ich ...

Both are correct, but the word order changes because German keeps the finite verb in second position.

What exactly does will mean here? Is it the future tense, like English will?
