My question comes from a grammar /German background: We have four cases. They have different pronouns. Which ones should I list?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

English also has cases, we just don't think of them much. It's why pronouns are typically given as nominative/objective pairs: she/her, they/them, etc. So, similarly in German you'd probably only need to give one or two examples to make it clear which set to use. Or give all four.
