✦Grammar Breakdown
IstdieserArtikelimAngebot?
Verb‑First Question
In yes/no questions the finite verb (ist) moves to the first position.
Demonstrative Pronoun
"dieser" is the masculine nominative singular form that must agree with the noun "Artikel".
Preposition + Article (im)
"im" is the contraction of "in dem"; it requires the dative case, so "Angebot" appears in dative.
Noun Gender & Case
"Angebot" is neuter; after "in dem" it takes the dative form "Angebot" (identical to nominative).

✕Common Mistakes
Ist der Artikel im Angebot?
The demonstrative pronoun must match the noun in gender, number, and case; "der" is the nominative masculine article, not a demonstrative.
Ist dieser Artikel in dem Angebot?
Do not omit the contraction; "in dem Angebot" is correct but longer. Using just "im" is the natural spoken form.
Ist dieser Artikel im Angebote?
After "in dem" the noun stays in dative; the form does not change, but learners sometimes add an "-e" ("Angebote").

Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking countries "Angebot" can refer to any temporary promotion, but "Sonderangebot" is often used for especially good deals. Sales are usually time‑limited and may be advertised with a "‑%" sign. Polite phrasing (e.g., "Entschuldigung") is common when addressing shop staff.
