Dative or accusative – yourself?
I know that the dative and the accusative are both in the third person singular: "sich".
But where is the big difference in usage?
Which part of the sentence is it when it is "sich"?
e.g.
1) He helps himself.
2) She takes her time.
3) He buys something.
It is part of the predicate as a reflexive pronoun (helping to take, buy).
“Sich” is in the Dativ. Who is he helping? Who is she taking time? Who is he buying something?
But:
He looks in the mirror. > Who (or what) does he see? >
Whether Dativ or battery is quite simple. To stay with your example.
Question 1: WEM or WAS does he help? Dativ
Question 2: WEN or WAS takes her? Accurate
Question 3: WEM or WAS does he buy something? Dativ
Ask a question. Use WEM or WAS = Dativ. For WEN or what = battery.
Well. The question is also what the member is.
I mean, “Who does he help?” -> “sich” – okay. That’s in the Dativ.
But: which typist? indirect object? Or is it a subject?
In the three examples and a tripod object or an indirect object.
Indirect object is a generic term for genitive and tripod object as well as prepositional object. The terms of direct and indirect object originate from English grammar and are essentially congruent with our terms of rechargeable and tripod object.

2) She takes time.
The question is in which case the pronoun is “sich” and not the “time”. But you ask: WEN or WAS takes her? Time.
“What does he help” is not available. Just “wem.”
1…Dat
2…Dat.
3…Dat.
What was exactly your question now? ECT
Where is the great difference between the battery and the Dativ in the word “sich”.
And what set is the “sich” in the set when it is in the dative or battery?
Or is it a subject?
If it’s in the Dativ, the phrase “sich” is a Dativ object I think.
