Here's a trick to remember the pronouns of the 3rd person singular and plural, and for the polite form: each case has the same ending as its article:
- 3rd person masculine: er - ihn - ihm | der - den - dem
- 3rd person feminine: sie - ihr - sie | die - der - die
- 3rd person neuter: es - ihm - es | das - dem - das
- 3rd person plural / polite form: Sie - Ihnen - Sie | die - den - die
