Basic Word Order in German
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 06. 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).
This guy clearly is the absolute best German teacher on youtube
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.
Many thanks, Nancy! I'm thankful for your taking the time to let me know how they are helping you. Explanation is something I'm constantly striving to get better at! I'm also keen to keep creating new content as I have the time to help people like you.
@@mugridgelanguage Thank you for your kind reply. I look forward to your future videos and to understanding more German grammar with you. Take care.
yes, very good and clear indeed👌❤️
Completely agree...
💯 agree
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.
Ich kann jetzt endlich Deutsch und ich wollte dir nur sagen, dass mir das wirklich geholfen hat, als ich angefangen habe, die Sprache zu lernen. Du bist ein sehr guter Lehrer, dein Unterrichtsstil ist sehr effektiv. Danke. :)
Thank you SO MUCH for explaining this! Duolingo paves right through this without explaining it at all and I started feeling like I was crazy because I went from getting everything right to getting everything wrong. Now I'm finally back on the right track, thanks to you!
No worries, so glad I could help you in your German learning journey!
which section are you in right now?
I am in a same situation right now, I hope I can get through this inshAllah
I am so thankful for an explanation of German Word Order that I can understand!
Good to hear!
You have a magical way to teach. The English-German comparison made it so easy to comprehend.
Thnx
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 :)
No worries! Very happy to help out people like you who are looking for simple yet clear grammatical explanations.
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
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...
Look up Luis Von Ahn...
I’ve spent hours trying to wrap my head around this and your video has finally worked for my brain, Danke!
Great to hear! Thanks for commenting to let me know
Hey, German here! Great video!
Basically the conjugated verb always comes at the second place while the infinitive (second) verb comes at the end :)
Your the only person that I can understand whilst learning! Thankyou so much. I have been looking for hours for someone that I can understand clearly, and this is perfect. I can’t wait for more videos!
Glad I could help!
i just wanna thank you for how simple you made it look, i have been struggling to build a sentence in germen and you made it very easy and clear and i appreciated a lot. thank you so much
finally someone who doesn't spend the first 10 minutes re-teaching me english sentence construction and gets straight to the point
Thanks for the comment
The most clear visual representation and explanations with english grammar comparisons. That's so clever. Before I teach german I usually make sure they understand what's going on in an English sentence too. Video is too underrated. It's great! Vielen Dank! Hope you receive more views and subscriptions!
Einfach, klar und vielleicht das Beste, das ich gesehen habe!
You deserve more subs. I'm sure the algorithm will show you some love eventually, as the presentation of these is excellent. I've only been learning German for about 12 weeks, but: "diese videos helfen mir, Deutsch zu lernen!".... Danke! Hallo aus England! I'm now subbed :)
Das freut mich! Ich hoffe, dir weiter helfen zu können.
This is the best explanation of German word order I have come across. I have been studying German for two years.

No problem!
Hello great video! Can you cover word over for subordinate clauses
I am happy to find you
Oh , it's so simple 😊😊😊
Danke schoen
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) 😂😂😂
As far as I know, the verbs ending for "Er" is -t, e.g _Er kommt aus Berlin_ . But why in the video it says "kommen" instead of "kommt"? Or is it another rule perhaps?
Wow super cool❤❤❤❤❤❤ love from srilanka

2nd verb moves to the end and is the full verb.
Thank you! Currently looking for daß videos too. 😩 Germany how can you think this way? I don't understand it.
You are the bestttttttttt
Thanks!
5:44 can the Time, Manner and Place be interchanged as well please?
Great video, btw would you please suggest the name of the Font you used in this video ?
Thanks! Sorry, I can't remember what it was called.
Can show example of word order involving dative and accusative?
Just can't thank you enough for this video it had proved very helpful to me.....and just a doubt regarding this we donot conjugate the 2nd verb right???
That’s right - never conjugate the second verb in a sentence!
Ok, wow, I *think* I may be starting to understand!! Quick question though, how come an 'N' gets shoved on the second verb? 'GeheN' and 'kommeN' etc?
Good to hear! The second verb in the sentence will always be in the “infinitive” form (the base form of the verb with no ending) and be at the end of the sentence. We do a similar thing in English. E.g. “He plays” (s ending) but “He can play” (no ending on play).
could you explain the order in this sentence : "ich liebe sie, weil sie schön ist" ? thank you
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".
