Let's practice the German articles together with some der die das exercises.

it will become more intuitive over time - especially with some practice.
We have collected a few exercises here for you to practice der, die & das in German. We're starting off with some easy exercises and then gradually make things a little more difficult.
Remember that these exercises are for A1 - A2 students. If this is too easy for you, you can always check out our other German exercises or our online German lessons.
Der Die Das Exercise #1
Let's start with an exercise that's purely focused on the German article: Can you pick the correct article for each word in the right column?
Der Die Das Exercise #2
Now in full sentences. Read the noun, then type the article that fits its gender. All these sentences are in the nominative, so the article is the same one you'd find in the dictionary.
Der Die Das Exercise #3
A vocab translation round. For each English word, type the German noun with its article — der Hund, die Blume, das Buch. Always learn nouns together with their article; that's the surest way to remember the gender.
