| 20.1.39 in = in (with Accusative or with Dative) |
| Examples | |
| Note!
in dem is converted into im Ich bin im Garten 
and not: Ich bin in dem Garten To this rule there is an exception. If you want to specify the object with a relative clause, then you have to use in dem. |
|
| Ich bin in
dem Garten,
der dir so gefällt. = I am in the garden, that you like so much. |
|
| Note! With verbs of movement in requires the Accusative , in all other cases the Dative. In other words, if the translation into English is to or into, then Accusative is to be used, else Dative. | |
