Example sentences

    I get up early every morning.

  • GutenMorgen,wiegehtesdir?

    Good morning, how are you?

Grammar note

“Der Morgen” is masculine. For “in the morning” as a recurring time, German uses “morgens” (lowercase, adverb) — “ich stehe morgens früh auf” — not “im Morgen”.

Common mistake

Don't confuse “Morgen” (morning, capitalized noun) with “morgen” (tomorrow, lowercase adverb) — same spelling, different meaning, and German's capitalization rule is what tells them apart in writing.
