| Dec 17, 2019 at 10:11 | comment | added | gented | Because in German, as in Latin, as in most other languages that have declensions, the case is usually not specified by the logical meaning of the text but by what the previous verb requires as a case. "Receiving the action" doesn't really mean anything: after all, everything in a sentence, by definition, receives the action of the verb (otherwise it wouldn't be part of that sentence in the first place). | |
