As you know, German has three words for the:

den = ‘the’ after a verb

das

die

der

neuter

masculine

feminine

der Tisch

die Flasche

das Fenster

After a verb the masculine word for the changes:

Niko hat den Tisch.

Niko hat den Rucksack.

Niko hat den Mann.

This change happens after most verbs but not SEIN / ist (BE / is).

Only the masculine changes. Feminine and neuter words for ‘the’ stay the same!
