3. What it is The DATIVE case is when the pronoun/noun functions as the INDIRECT OBJECT!

4. Example Sentances Ich schicke dem Lehrer eine E-Mail.

5. WHY? Use dem because because Lehrer is a masculine noun and is functioning as the indirect object. (Hint- you can find an indirect object more easily by putting to/for in front of the noun. If it fits, it is the direct object.)

6. Example Wem schickst du eine E- Mail?

7. WHY? Use wem because you are inquiring about the indirect object. You are asking to or for whom.
