Feb 1, 2022 at 14:50 comment added RDBury @guidot: I know what you mean; another problem is that grammatical terminology differs from source to source, so "simple past" for some = "preterite" for others. But I've noticed that German grammatical sources aren't always consistent either. I don't think using English grammatical terms of German is a huge problem in this case, as long as people realize that "German present" is similar to, but not quite the same as, "English present". For case names the German and English concepts are truly incompatible; I use "subject, object, possessive" for case names in English.
Feb 1, 2022 at 13:01 comment added guidot I'm not convinced, that English terms (enumeration 1 through 4) are helpful in a question like this, since the terms have a similar but somewhat different meaning in English.
