Key learning points
- [b] is pronounced like English 'p' when it's the final letter in a word, or followed by a consonant, e.g., 'der Korb'.
- [b] sounds like English b when it's followed by a vowel, e.g., 'die Körbe'.
- 'Alle' is a pronoun meaning 'everyone' or 'everybody' and is followed by a plural verb ending -en.
- 'Jeder' is a pronoun meaning 'everyone' or 'everybody' and is followed by a singular verb ending -t.
- 'Jed-' is the determiner ‘every’ and its endings match the gender and case of the noun that follows, e.g., 'jedes Kind'.
Keywords
[b] - as pronounced in 'Korb' and 'Körbe'
Alle - pronoun meaning 'everyone' or 'everybody', used with a plural verb
Jeder - pronoun meaning 'everyone' or 'everybody', used with a singular verb
Jed- - determiner meaning ‘every’; its endings match the gender and case of the noun that follows, e.g., 'jedes Kind'
Common misconception
As in English, there is only one word for 'every'.
In German, 'jed-' changes its spelling in the same way as 'der', 'die' and 'das', to match the gender and case of the noun that follows.
