Feminine Nouns

..., der Wolf könnte die Großmutter gefressen haben...
..., the wolf could have eaten (
the) grandmother...


The word Großmutter is feminine, therefore requiring a feminine article marker, -e.  In this example, die Großmutter is in the accusative because it is the direct object of the sentence. [The wolf could have eaten what (or whom)?]
