Sentence structure-2 In the following sentence; ''Ordnen Sie die Sätze EINEM der Zeitungsartikel zu.'' What is that ''einem'' in the sentence? and why is it dative? Can't we use the genitive form like: '' Ordnen Sie die Sätze des Zeitungsartikels zu '' ? Thanks in advance for your help!

Zuordnen requires a direct object - in this case "einem Zeitungsartikel". You relate somehing TO something. In your genetive sentence an object is missing.
