Noun Capitalization and Articles

German nouns are capitalized; their grammatical gender is learned with the article der, die, or das.
This lesson focuses on what “Noun Capitalization and Articles” describes and the relationship stated in the core idea.
Read every condition in the core statement before applying it.
Separate the information given from the result you are trying to explain.
Keep the key terms in the same roles used in the statement.
Connect the rule to this example: der Tisch (table), die Lampe (lamp), das Fenster (window).
The example shows how the idea works in a concrete situation.
If a new case changes the conditions, check the rule again instead of assuming the same result.
Explain the conclusion and identify which part of the concept supports it.
Quick check: restate the idea in your own words and point to where it appears in the example.

der Tisch (table), die Lampe (lamp), das Fenster (window).
First, read the situation carefully and identify what is being shown.

Recall the core concept: German nouns are capitalized; their grammatical gender is learned with the article der, die, or das.
Apply the relevant part of that concept to the facts in this example.
Keep the stated conditions, labels, and units consistent as you reason.
Make the intermediate reasoning clear before stating the result.
Interpret the result in the context of “Noun Capitalization and Articles,” not as an isolated answer.
