✦Grammar Breakdown
DasistfürdieExpresslieferung.
Das (demonstrative pronoun)
‘Das’ is a neuter demonstrative pronoun used here as the subject of the sentence.
sein – ist
‘ist’ is the 3rd‑person singular present of the verb ‘sein’ (to be).
für + Accusative
The preposition ‘für’ always governs the accusative case; therefore ‘die’ is the accusative feminine article.
die Expresslieferung (compound noun)
‘Expresslieferung’ is a feminine noun (die Lieferung) combined with the prefix ‘Express‑’; it stays feminine in the compound.
Punctuation
The period ends the statement; German sentences also capitalize the first word.

✕Common Mistakes
Die ist für die Expresslieferung.
‘das’ is neuter; the subject is correctly ‘Das’, not ‘die’.
Das ist für das Expresslieferung.
The article after ‘für’ must be accusative feminine ‘die’, not neuter ‘das’.

‘ist’ matches the singular subject ‘Das’; ‘sind’ would be plural.

Cultural Tip
‘Expresslieferung’ is the standard term used by German couriers such as DHL, Hermes, and UPS for their next‑day or same‑day services. In formal business communication you’ll often see it written without a hyphen, but both ‘Express‑lieferung’ and ‘Expresslieferung’ are accepted. When speaking, keep the stress on the second syllable of ‘Express‑’ (e‑ksp‑RESS).
