In German, words like 'der', 'die', and 'das' are like our English word 'the'. However, these words can change a bit depending on how they're used in a sentence. Just like how we might say 'I' when talking about ourselves, but 'me' when someone gives something to us. For example, 'der' might sometimes become 'den' or 'dem' in different situations.
