The key difference between accusative and dative case is what they focus on in a sentence. In the German (and English) language, there are mainly four cases. They are the nominative case, accusative case, dative case, and the genitive case. The nominative case refers to the subject of the sentence. The accusative case refers to the direct object of the sentence. The dative case refers to the indirect object of the sentence. Finally, the genitive case refers to the possessive.

Acc = accusative (direct object function)
Dat = dative (indirect object function)
Gen = genitive (possessive function)
As explained throughout the program, some prepositions require specific cases too...
