Possessive determiners in the accusative

To express ownership or belonging, the possessive determiner is used instead of the indefinite article. The noun with the possessive determiner is in the accusative after many verbs, e.g. mögen (ich mag), lieben, brauchen, lesen, anrufen, aufräumen.

In the singular, the endings are the same as the indefinite article.

masculine (der Job):
Ich habe einen Job.
Ich mag meinen Job.

feminine (die Arbeit):
Ich habe eine Arbeit.
Ich mag meine Arbeit.

neuter (das Büro):
Ich habe ein Büro.

In the accusative plural, the possessive determiner ends in -e.

Ich habe Kollegen.
Ich mag meine Kollegen.
