Jemand VS Jemanden Ich schreie jemanden an. Jemand schreit mich an. I learned the two sentences from a native speaker, and he mentioned that these sentences sound most natural from the perspective from a native speaker. However, he said he doesn't really know why this is so too. Why do I use jemanden in one sentence and jemand in another? Or does it not matter which one I use? Thanks!

Hello Justin, Jemand is used usually as Subject, while jemanden is used in Object case. To clarify this further, the first sentence, ICH is the Subject that's why you need to use JEMANDEN to express object case. However, the second sentence JEMAND is the Subject. Am not sure if you have learnt the cases in German, Nominativ, Akkusative ....etc. jemand stands for Nominativ and jemanden does for Akkusativ. Hope my answer could help you. Cheers, Ayman
