✦Grammar Breakdown
MeineKursesindinteressant
Possessive Determiner
‘Meine’ is the feminine/plural form of the possessive pronoun ‘mein’, and it must agree with the gender and number of the noun it modifies.
Plural Noun
‘Kurse’ is the plural of the masculine noun ‘der Kurs’. In plural, the article and possessive determiner take the ‘-e’ ending.
Verb ‘sein’ in Plural
‘sind’ is the present‑tense form of ‘sein’ used with all plural subjects.
Predicative Adjective
When an adjective follows ‘sein’, it stays in its base form – no ending is added (e.g., ‘interessant’, not ‘interessante’).
🗨In Conversation
Wie findest du deine Kurse?
How do you find your courses?
Meine Kurse sind interessant.
My courses are interesting.
✕Common Mistakes
Meine Kurse sind interessante.
Predicative adjectives after ‘sein’ are not declined; the correct form is ‘interessant’.
Meine Kurse ist interessant.
‘ist’ is the singular form of ‘sein’; with the plural subject ‘Kurse’ you must use ‘sind’.
Mein Kurse sind interessant.
The possessive must agree with the plural noun, so ‘mein’ (singular) is wrong here.
↔Alternatives
Meine Kurse sind spannend.
My courses are exciting.
Ich finde meine Kurse interessant.
I find my courses interesting.
Meine Kurse gefallen mir, weil sie interessant sind.
I like my courses because they are interesting.
Cultural Tip
In German, adjectives used predicatively after ‘sein’, ‘werden’ or ‘bleiben’ never receive an ending – they stay in the base form. Also, the possessive ‘mein‑’ must match the noun’s gender and number, so ‘meine Kurse’ (plural) is correct, while ‘mein Kurs’ would be singular. In formal contexts you might hear ‘Die von mir belegten Kurse sind interessant.’ which adds a relative clause for extra politeness.
