Usage notes
- The contraction im is obligatory when the definite article has no deixis whatsoever. In this case it is ungrammatical to use in dem as separate words:
- Wir sitzen im Garten. ― We're sitting in the garden.
- Er arbeitet im technischen Bereich. ― He works in the technical field.
- On the other hand, im is usually not applicable when the definite article has an indicative function. This includes contexts in which English would use a demonstrative pronoun (“this” or “that”) but also some others. Particularly, in dem is used before a defining relative clause.
- In dem Haus haben wir mal gewohnt. ― We used to live in that house [over there].
- Mein Großvater starb in dem Haus, wo ich geboren wurde. ― My grandfather died in the house where I was born.
Declension
The preposition in can be used with both accusative and dative objects, but it only contracts with dem as im and with das as ins. Thus, the combination of in with the definite article has the following forms:
masculine | neuter | feminine | plural | |
---|---|---|---|---|
accusative | in den | ins | in die | in die |
dative | im | im | in der | in den |
