Frequently asked questions

How do you learn German adjective endings?

Learn complete phrases such as der kleine Hund and mit dem kleinen Hund. The game gives you practice with determiner forms and adjective endings. Use those encounters as a starting point, then check the ending in a complete noun phrase.

Which articles does Declining Space cover?

The prompts include definite article forms such as der, die, das, den and dem, along with indefinite, possessive and negative forms such as ein, mein and kein. An article form can have more than one grammatical use, so a full noun phrase may need extra information to establish the ending.

Why does the article keep changing?

A new article gives you another form to read and another ending to consider. Check the form on your ship before you collect an adjective. The changes keep the space challenge varied.

What adjective endings does the game train?

The five common adjective endings are -e, -en, -er, -es and -em. The correct ending in a complete phrase depends on its determiner, case, gender and number. Compare der kleine Hund and mit dem kleinen Hund to see one adjective used in two different phrases.

What level is Declining Space for?

It is aimed at A2–B1 learners who already know common article forms. Review noun gender and forms such as den and dem first if you need to. Then use the game alongside examples of complete adjective–noun phrases.

How often should I play to actually improve?

Try one short run whenever it fits your day. Return on another day, and review a complete example after playing. Notice familiar endings in a menu, advert or message too.
