The dictionary's own example. der Koffer = suitcase · leicht = light.

The dictionary's own example. langsam = slow · die Schildkröte = turtle.
die Socke — sock
Plural: die Socken. The dictionary's own example — "Passen diese beiden Socken zusammen?" (Do these two socks go together?) — uses the plural in Nominativ, which doesn't fit a case slot below, so it's cited here rather than reused directly.

der Sohn — son
Plural: die Söhne (umlaut). The dictionary's own example — "Großvater und Großmutter haben sechs Söhne" (Grandfather and grandmother have six sons) — uses the plural in Akkusativ, which doesn't fit the Dativ plural slot below, so it's cited here rather than reused directly.

der Soldat — soldier
Plural: die Soldaten. Weak noun — adds -en in every case except Nominativ singular: "den Soldaten", "dem Soldaten". The dictionary's own example — "Die Soldaten warten auf ihre Befehle" (The soldiers are waiting for their orders) — uses the plural in Nominativ, which doesn't fit a case slot below, so it's cited here rather than reused directly.

Nom Der Sommer ist heiß.
The summer is hot.
der Sommer (maskulin) = summer · heiß = hot. "Der" — maskulin Nominativ.
Akk Diesen Sommer verbringen wir unsere Ferien in Kanada.
This summer we're spending our vacation in Canada.
The dictionary's own example. verbringen = to spend (time) · die Ferien = vacation. "Diesen Sommer" is a temporal Akkusativ (a time expression without a preposition) — "diesen" declines like "den".
Dat Im Sommer ist es hier sehr heiß.
In the summer, it's very hot here.
im = in + dem (contraction). "Dem" because maskulin Dativ (der → dem) after "in" for a time expression.

Akk Ich mag den Sonntag.
I like Sunday.

die Soße — gravy; sauce
A dish/substance noun often used without an article in everyday speech (like "der Pfeffer" or "das Papier", earlier parts), so this drill sticks to the definite article only. The dictionary's own example — "Möchtest du Soße zu deinem Rinderbraten?" (Do you want gravy with your roast beef?) — shows this bare-noun usage; it's cited here rather than reused directly since it doesn't decline the definite article.

The dictionary's own example. müssen = to have to · das Geld = money.
