Hello,
First of all thank you for the superb presentationsI have watched all of your videos and they are Perfect.You point out things that make memorization of some topics much easier.
I've recently started learning german and I am aiming for a B2 level.English isn't my native language either,but since I have learned English in the course of so many years I can't exactly pinpoint that when was it that I was at B2 level in English.you know?
So i was wondering if you as a person who has learned German can comment on this?
And how long do you think that it's gonna take,i mean roughly.
Thanks a million.
You are awesome
Thanks for great video sir
Glad you liked it!
Can you please make an tutorial about reflexive verbs and how to form it in a sentence and its word order, dein anstrengung ist echt großartig ,danke
Yes, will do! Can’t guarantee exactly when, but it’s on the list!
Why no .2 rule ,that of "zu" is not applicable in example no .10 ,where you have mentioned zu Hause bleiben ..as you have explained before that with use of modal verb ,we need not to use "zu" ..but why example no 10 has exception ..plz Guide 🙏🙏
Good question! You’re right about the rule, and this is not an exception. This “zu” is a different type of zu, it goes with a noun and not with a verb. It tells you the location of something (home/house) rather than meaning “to” before an action. Does that explanation help you? Keep in mind what comes after the zu. In this sentence, there is still no su before the verb “bleiben”.
@@mugridgelanguage Ok ...Ich stimme ihnen zu aber ich verstehe das nicht völlig..
Ich bin jetzt noch ein anfanger Deutsch zu lernen..
@@mugridgelanguage Could you please state some more example of noun wherein zu exclusively goes with noun and not with verb except this example zuhause ,zurschule ,zumBahnhof usw ..Is there any other use of zu ,which goes with Noun but telling something different than location .So ,It will help me a lot to facilllitate my German learning..
Your examples of Banhhof and Schule are great. Zu tells the location of something, mostly meaning “to” the location. Sometimes, weirdly, it means “at”, like with “zu Hause”, but it’s still a noun. The “zu” before an infinitive verb (that ends with “en”) is what you will have after verbs like “hoffen”, “versuchen” and “planen” but not modal verbs.
