✕Common Mistakes
Ja, hier ist meinen Gepäckanhänger.
After the verb sein the noun stays in nominative, so the possessive must be ‘mein’, not accusative ‘meinen’.
Ja, hier mein Gepäckanhänger ist.
German main clauses require verb‑second order; placing the verb after ‘hier’ sounds unnatural.
Ja, hier ist mein Gepäck Anhänger.
It’s a single compound noun, not two separate words.

Ja, das hier ist mein Gepäckanhänger.
