Nuts & Bolts of German (Practice): Accusative: Direct object: What's all this about? (V)

zwei Sektgläser

The indefinite article "a(n)" doesn't exist in the plural.

After all, you can't say "a books", but of course you can say "no books", "my books", "your books" etc.

So there is no form of "ein" you can take as a blue print for the correct ending of "kein", "mein" etc. when they come before a noun in the plural.

Study the sentences under the photo and figure out what the correct ending is. Complete the rule underneath. Then press [Check] to see if you were correct. Use the [Hint] button to get a free letter if you need help.

"kein" and the possessive articles (mein, dein, sein, ihr etc.) take the ending "" if the noun they belong to is in the plural, no matter whether the noun plays the role of the or of the direct object in the sentence.
