  • Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
  • This video covers the pattern of normal word order in English (including sentences with one verb and sentences with two verbs) and the pattern of normal word order in German (with a comparison of like sentences), followed with numerous examples. The two rules taught are those associated with verb position (the first verb in the second position and the second verb in the final position) and the position of additional information in the sentence (time, manner, place).

    I have been working on German for a while and have used many different resources for that learning. Your explanations are by far the best test I have found. Thank you and I look forward to learning more German with you.

    Hey, German here! Great video!
    Basically the conjugated verb always comes at the second place while the infinitive (second) verb comes at the end :)

    German is found by many, including myself, to be a very complex and challenging language, but this might just be the key to making it simple. I'm sure this has significantly aided myself and many other German beginners; so with that, thank you for your work.

    Thanks for this easy to understand and straight to the point explanation. I have been learning on Duolingo and really been struggling with the word order as the app doesn't explain this so I've been getting frustrated. When looking for word orders online I've been inundated with complex terminology and information which has been overwhelming. This is exactly what I needed to know presented in a way that is easy to understand! Thank you :)

      Ditto, also came here from Duolingo after being So frustrated with present, past Verbs as well as modifying Verbs. Ugh! The Mini Lessons the App has is all right, but hardly does the job explaining in Must Necessary detail. Dankeshon. And I'm getting close to the end of the Unit 2 (which is similar to 2 HS yrs) and I'm still bombing w/ past-Tense or combined Verbs.

      Those apps aren’t enough for me. This video is great though. I really want to learn the language. I have a private Native German tutor and that is much needed. I feel these are good to use, but a teacher or tutor would be best along with use of those practice apps

    • @OneAdam12Adam
      @OneAdam12Adam 11 місяців тому

      Duolingo is not an effective app. It was never designed to really work. It was an afterthought of another cyber product. Research it and you'll see that it came from a place of guilt. People were working for free by helping read things a computer couldn't read...

    For me, that second verb placement always creates an element of surprise or mystery in a sentence. Imagine your pretty classmate starts by saying...
    Ich möchte (she wants something)
    Ich möchte heute Abend (Hmmm...she wants something tonight)
    Ich möchte heute Abend mit dir (she wants to do something with me tonight!)
    Ich möchte heute Abend mit dir bei mir (she wants to do something with met tonight at her place!!)
    Ich möchte heute Abend mit dir bei mir lernen. (Sigh...she wants to study) 😂😂😂

    could you explain the order in this sentence : "ich liebe sie, weil sie schön ist" ? thank you

    • @mugridgelanguage
      @mugridgelanguage  2 роки тому +3

      This is a great question! The word "weil" makes the verb go to the last position. So the sentence would normally be "sie ist schön" but "weil" forces the "ist" to the end of the sentence. The word "weil" belongs to a category of words called "subordinating conjunctions" which do this, words like "dass" and "obwohl".
