Herr, in German, means <em>mister, sir, gentleman, </em>or in elevated cases, <em>lord</em> or <em>master</em>.
It's important to realize something about German: cases.
There are four different cases in German, and they are:
nominative - when something acts as a subject
<em>(the person doing the action)</em>
accusative - when something acts as a direct object
<em>(the thing the action happens to)</em>
dative - when something acts as an indirect object
<em>(like accusative but preceded by to, at, in, etc.)</em>
genitive - when something acts as possessing something.
<em>(the person to whom something belongs)</em>
Here's a sample sentence.
<u>He came into the garage and stole John's bike.</u>
The subject, <em>he</em>, is nominative.
The direct object, <em>the bike,</em> is accusative.
The indirect object, <em>the garage</em>, is dative.
The person possessing something, <em>John</em>,<em> </em>is in the genitive.
In English, cases don't matter very much.
However, in German they are extremely important.
German cases even change how to <u>write and say words<em /></u><em>.
(This is called <u>declension</u>.)
</em>
Herr will appear as Herrn because of its <em>declension</em>.
In the nominative, it's <u>Herr</u>.
In any other case, it's <u>Herrn</u>. (i.e., when it's acting as the object of a sentence)
When it's plural, it's always <u>Herren</u>.
Answer:
grübelte; gesehen und gehört hatte.
Explanation:
This is a complex sentence; it contains an independent clause and a dependent clause. The verbs in the independent clause are <em>ging</em> and <em>grübelte</em>. Since the first verb (<em>ging</em>) is in the Präteritum, the second verb should be used in the Präteritum, too, because the independent clause shows a series of actions in the past. <em>Grübeln</em> is a weak, or regular, verb, and its Präteritum form is also regular: <em>grübelte</em>.
The verbs in the dependent clause should be used in the Plusquamperfekt (the past perfect tense) to express actions that occurred in the past and finished before the actions in the main clause started. You make the Plusquamperfekt forms by using the imperfect verb form of the auxiliary ‘haben’ (for transitive verbs, such as <em>sehen </em>and <em>hören</em>) and the past participle of the full verb.
<em>Sehen</em> is a strong, or irregular, verb, and its past participle form is also irregular: <em>gesehen</em>.
<em>Hören</em> is a weak, or regular, verb, and its past participle form is also regular: <em>gehört</em>.
"Ich ging langsam nach Hause und grübelte über alles, was ich gesehen und gehört hatte."
