German Cases Flowchart Infographic | american sign language alphabet chart

Language learning infographic titled "German Cases: Nominative vs Accusative". GRAMMAR-RULE flowchart layout, clean educational poster, Duolingo-friendly cartoon style, friendly primary palette, tasteful imagery, no cultural stereotyping. Central structure: a sharp, high-legibility flowchart comparing when to use the German nominative case versus the accusative case, with bold arrows, decision boxes, and example panels. All labels and explanations in English. Include advanced-level grammatical distinctions suitable for C1+ learners.

Main flowchart sections:
1. Start node: "Identify the noun phrase's role in the sentence"
2. Branch A: "Is it the subject performing the action?" leading to nominative case
3. Branch B: "Is it the direct object receiving the action?" leading to accusative case
4. Additional advanced branch: "After certain verbs, is the complement a predicate noun?" leading to nominative case
5. Additional branch: "After accusative prepositions, use accusative" with examples
6. Contrast box: "Form changes are most visible in masculine articles and pronouns"

In each flowchart box or example cell, show: original German form + English translation + optional phonetic hint where helpful.

Include a compact article/pronoun comparison table embedded in the flowchart with sharp typography:
- Nominative: "der Mann — the man", "ein Mann — a man", "er — he"
- Accusative: "den Mann — the man", "einen Mann — a man", "ihn — him"
- Feminine unchanged examples: "die Frau — the woman", "eine Frau — a woman", "sie — she / her"
- Neuter unchanged examples: "das Kind — the child", "ein Kind — a child", "es — it"
- Plural unchanged article example: "die Kinder — the children"

Example panels with clear role highlighting:
- "Der Hund sieht den Mann. — The dog sees the man."
- "Der Mann sieht den Hund. — The man sees the dog."
- "Das ist der Lehrer. — That is the teacher."
- "Ich habe einen Hund. — I have a dog."
- "Wir gehen durch den Park. — We go through the park."
- "für den Kurs — for the course"
- "ohne den Fehler — without the mistake"

Add a small advanced note area in English:
- "Nominative marks the subject and predicate noun after sein, werden, and bleiben."
- "Accusative marks the direct object and follows accusative prepositions such as durch, für, gegen, ohne, and um."
- "Masculine forms show the clearest article change: der → den, ein → einen."
