Hi, SqueakyRat!
Thank you!

The german use of the word [Student/in] is a little different than it is in english.
- generally speaking [Student] is only used for people attending University.
Thank you! I didn’t know that. This is very helpful.
I have put down this in my book.

Quote:
Quote:
The male student’s father is a doctor. = Der Vater des Schülers ist ein Arzt.
Grammatically correct, though you can drop [ein], it sounds a lot more natural that way.
Der Vater des Schülers ist Arzt. I see!

Quote:
If you're using [unterrichten] I would say [Der Lehrer unterrichtet den Schüler in Wissenschaft.]
You could also say [Der Lehrer bringt dem Schüler Wissenschaft bei.]
I need a sentence including dem Schüler, so [Der Lehrer bringt dem Schüler Wissenschaft bei.] must be good. Danke!

Quote:
[Der Lehrer weist den Schüler zurecht.]
OK. There seems to be a lot of words I should learn.

Quote:
[zum Meer] (It's short for zu dem)
Most people (Including myself.) would use [ans Meer]. (This time it's short for an das)
Die Schüler gehen ans Meer. OK.

Quote:
I don't know what the word ten is supposed to mean so I'll just assume your sentence ends after [Schüler].
I’m sorry! That was my mistake. The sentence should be ;
Das ist der Lehrer den Schüler.


Quote:
Technically your sentence is correct, but I'm not sure about the context here. Do you want to emphasize the fact that he's a teacher of the male students? If that's the case I'd still use the german word for male (männlich) in your sentence, as the plural use of [Schüler] is gender neutral. On the other hand, the plural form for [Schülerin] (Schülerinnen) makes it clear without a doubt that you're talking about an all-female group of students.
Oh, I didn’t know that the plural use of [Schüler] was gender neutral.

I just started studying German, and I know few German words.
I’m trying to make example sentences with [der-des-den-dem-die-der-den-die].
The German grammar is very difficult to learn, so I think I should learn some basic sentences by heart and by rote.
My sentences don’t have any points in meanings.
I need the sentences to be natural, grammatically correct and including basic words I want to learn. The word is Schüler this time.

Quote:
Just use Party, we've adopted the word. [Partei] is only used for a political party. Otherwise your sentence is correct.
Der Lehrer lädt die Schüler zu einer Party ein.

SqueakyRat, thanks again.
You helped me tremendously. Vielen Dank!
I have put down these sentences in my book:

The male student goes to a shop. = Der Schüler geht zu einem Geschäft.

The male student’s father is a doctor. = Der Vater des Schülers ist Arzt.
(Arztの前のeinは 入れないほうが自然)

The teacher teaches the male student science. = Der Lehrer bringt dem Schüler Wissenschaft bei.

(unterrichten を使ってしまうと、Der Lehrer unterrichtet den Schüler in Wissenschaft.となる.
beibringen= to teach)

The teacher rebukes the male student. = Der Lehrer weist den Schüler zurecht.

(zurechtweisen=to rebuke, to reprimand 先生が生徒を叱るときはこの単語)

The plural use of [Schüler] is gender neutral. Schülerを複数形で使うと、男女両方の意味になる

The students go to sea. = Die Schüler gehen ans Meer. (ans= an des)

This is a teacher of the students. = Das ist ein Lehrer der Schüler.

A teacher gives the students some books. = Ein Lehrer gibt den Schülern einige Bücher.

The teacher invites the student to a party. = Der Lehrer lädt die Schüler zu einer Party ein.



Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
