It only changes to im when combined with the dative, masculine/neuter article dem. In – used alone when no article is needed. (In New York, in Deutschland, in Berlin, usw.) Im – used when combining in + dem Der Supermarkt -> im (in dem) Supermarkt Das Kaufhaus -> im Kaufhaus In der – used when the location is feminine (In der Bäckerei, In der Metzgerei, In der Schule, usw.) Bei/beim – at the place of. This may be used when talking about being at someone’s home or place of business . Beim (bei dem) is used under the same circumstances as im above. That is, when the location is masculine or neuter and takes an article– (bei Oma, bei Tante Inge, beim Metzger, beim Bäcker) Translate the following: Monica buys chicken at the Butcher’s. _____________________________________________________________________________________ We buy bread in the Bakery. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Susie is at Grandma’s place. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Should he buy the milk in the supermarket? _____________________________________________________________________________________ Quantities – Germany, like the rest of Europe, uses the metric system.
