I find all your videos incredibly helpful, especially when it comes to German cases - I find the German genitive case so hard to understand and use correctly and am so grateful to you.
This was for me one of the bestest best explanations on TH-cam, this topic has been one of the most kompliziert topics as English doesn't have such things or rather we don't encounter such intricacies in it ❤❤❤ vielen Dank Lehrer
I am really grateful for your videos and as soon I am able to contribute you monetarily I'll do it without hesitation. Again, thank you for your work and clear explanations!
The explanation of the structure was very smooth, fast, and simple to understand. Probably one of the best German tutorials I watched so far. The TeMoLo rule could've been mentioned, aber Vielen Dank!
hello Herr Ferguson! I'm learning German through your TH-cam videos and I was wondering if you had any grammar exercises on the cases and adjective endings and word order? Or maybe can you point me to the direction where I can find any? Thank you so much!
Hallo! Thanks for the comment. I don’t have anything to help with this currently (I’d like to get there eventually!) but in the meantime, the following website is very useful! german.net/exercises/ There’s a menu in the top left to choose which aspect of grammar you’d like to work on and I’m fairly sure it marks it itself! Hope that helps! 🙏🏼
"vile weil" is very creative and a great mnemonic ! Danke! Just wish there's was some way to easily remember the remaining boot words. Guess Übung macht den Meister for those!
OH MY GOD THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SO CONFUSED ABOUT 😭 I'm so happy I found your video, at first I thought all conjunctions booted verbs to the end. Thank you for clarifying this 💜 Another thing I find difficult is Adjektiv Deklination is it possible for you to make an easier summarized version of it? Edit: Nvm I already found ur vid about adjective endings
yesterday I was overwhelmed and doubting if I can continue studying German. This morning I found this channel, and it gives me hope. Thank you and I subscribed
Thank you Sir for the professional explaination. But do you have some more videos introducting the words order of other kind of words in the sentence, exception the Verb, like adjective, time, objective etc ? can we put them randomly or there's some rules
Generally, as long as the verb is in the right place, it makes sense and the emphasis changes. I’m working on a ‘time/manner/place’ video at the moment, so watch this space!
I know this is an older video but how do you work with multi-verb sentences?? This question has confused me so much and with this great video I have no doubt in my mind that you could unjumble the mess.
Great question! I’ll put this in another video, but basically you think of what the word order would be WITHOUT inversion or subordination, and only the verb in the 2nd position will move E.g Ich werde Deutsch lernen (I will learn German) weil ich Deutsch lernen werde (because (boot) I will learn German)
A valid question! I think the main word order rules are covered in the video and TMP is preferable, but I think it was one step too far for this video!
@@HerrFerguson of course , but i find a lot of language lerning apps whick mark a sentance wrong if you dont use TMP. So it should be mantioned for people who dont know about it and are confused why it is wrong. Great vid btw.
@darklight5316 That’s a fair point. It definitely comes up in another video, but it makes me think a video with this as a focus could help! I’ll add it to my list 👍🏼
I have a quick question. Wir konnen ein kaninchen in unserem zimmer haben. Why isnt it einem kaninchen isnt that indirect object in the sentance because WIR is the subject?
@@HerrFerguson Thanks for having responded to my comment. By the way, I'm native Urdu speaker and Urdu language(an Indo-Aryan language) is almost exclusively characterized by only SOV word order ignoring the Poems and verb emphasis. Anyway, Do you think that SVO languages are superior to SOV languages in terms of effectiveness of communication or it's just my myth?
@ArizAkram-wo6cz That’s really interesting! To be totally honest, I don’t know enough SOV languages to make a judgement. I’d love to learn Urdu though! Thanks for your support!
@@HerrFerguson Thanks bro, I would be glad to see you learning the world's 10th most spoken language namely Urdu, Thanks bro , and I pray to God that your Channel grows rapidly enough to hit atleast 100 thousand subscribers.
Everything was going well until deshalb = therefore is not subordinating but instead coordinating Apparently subordinating means "one clause is dependent on the other", and "therefore" is definitely a dependence :( Does anyone have a good explanation of this? Because this is horribly unintuitive
@HerrFerguson thanks! Last night after going crazy about this and doing research I came to the conclusion that taking the logical approach (the way you might with cases) simply does not work here. Instead this is more akin to remembering which verbs trigger certain cases: like dative for "hilfen" which doesn't act that way in English or French
This thing annoyed me a lot... When i look sentence structure i get scare when the verbs come in end and sometime first 😇😬😬😬😬😂😂😂 every german learner finds no sequence in german
Enormous video. Thank you very much! 🙏
THIS IS THE BEST GERMAN TUTORIAL ABOUT SENTENCE STRUCTURE THAT I FOUND. THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU DESERVE KOFI SUPPORT

@@HerrFergusonjust shared this to my german class, your videos are so helpful! danke schön 😁

Unabhängig davon ist Ihr Unterricht außergewöhnlich! 🤩
Danke 🙏🏼
love how you explained this, german word order is literally the boss of all languanges, you will not understand it easily
When I will come Germany 🇩🇪 I would like to thank you for your videos. You made german so easy.
I really love this. Makes German study more comprehensible and accessible. Grazie mille.
This is so helpful man! thank you enormously
Vielen Dank !!! This channel so far has the best videos I understand everything
Quite elaborative and comprehensive. Bless you.

This is the best if I can understand this everyone will 😊
Amazing! Thank you so much.
No doubt, the best explanation ever for such a difficult theme
I am really grateful for your videos and as soon I am able to contribute you monetarily I'll do it without hesitation. Again, thank you for your work and clear explanations!
sehr hilflich. Danke schone.
Great videos! Vielen Dank!!
This is best explanation video so far I have seen!!! Kudos to you
You are truly the best teacher here Mr Ferguson. Thank you so much!!!
Danke ☺️
16:50 so sentences with nachdem using both parts in "Präsens" do exist!!! That's a revelation!
This is premium content for sure. Viele Dank Herr Ferguson
Thank you for making it so easy to learn, remarkable

Very good!
Question inversion is common in many latin languages as they do not start a question with the verb to do. The English way is particular to English.
very clearful explanations
Amazing video

Well Explained, Thank you so much for teaching us., ,👏Super
Danke schon für diese video👍👍
i think you might have just saved my german writing mock 🙏🙏

you are the best!!
Great lesson , this is same in the A1 also right ?
Yeah 😊
Useful video fr no cap
Danke
This was very clear and understood well. Thanks for the video!!!
thank you so much for this! 😭
Nichts zu danken 😊
Das war super , danke für helfen 💚🙏🏻
Great presentation but I wish it was a little slower for me.
Think you can change the speed of the video in TH-cam if you need to slow it down. Thanks for the comment! 🙏🏼
No hate , but why didnt you mention the rule TIME MANNER PLACE?
A valid question! I think the main word order rules are covered in the video and TMP is preferable, but I think it was one step too far for this video!

Can you suggest an app please?@@darklight5316
I have a quick question.
Wir konnen ein kaninchen in unserem zimmer haben.
Why isnt it einem kaninchen isnt that indirect object in the sentance because WIR is the subject?
Indirect object is recipient or beneficiary.
We can have a rabbit.
We = subject
What can we have?
A rabbit = direct object = accusative
the besttttttttttttttt
Amazing
That means the German is both SVO as well as SOV
Yes, but only SOV after a subordinating conjunction (boot word)
@@HerrFerguson Thanks for having responded to my comment. By the way, I'm native Urdu speaker and Urdu language(an Indo-Aryan language) is almost exclusively characterized by only SOV word order ignoring the Poems and verb emphasis. Anyway, Do you think that SVO languages are superior to SOV languages in terms of effectiveness of communication or it's just my myth?

Es war awesome Video,grüße aus 🇧🇦🫡
Everything was going well until deshalb = therefore is not subordinating but instead coordinating
Apparently subordinating means "one clause is dependent on the other", and "therefore" is definitely a dependence :(
Does anyone have a good explanation of this? Because this is horribly unintuitive
‘deshalb’ causes inversion in German.
Don’t worry too much about ‘subordinating’, just think of it as a BOOT word! 🥾
@HerrFerguson thanks!
Last night after going crazy about this and doing research I came to the conclusion that taking the logical approach (the way you might with cases) simply does not work here. Instead this is more akin to remembering which verbs trigger certain cases: like dative for "hilfen" which doesn't act that way in English or French
this is literally the quality of a private lesson
❤
👍🏻✅
I love you bruder
positive criticism here "asking questions" part imo should be much earlier in the video.
Fair. I like to keep it to the three sections:
1️⃣ No change
2️⃣ Inversion
3️⃣ Boot
But thanks for the feedback! 👍🏼
👍👍👍💖💖💖💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌😊😊😊
Vielen dank!! Word order has always seemed so horrifying to me till now lol
BEST...BEST ...SUPER...FAIN [RO]....CEL MAI TARE [RO]
Bes german video ever
This thing annoyed me a lot... When i look sentence structure i get scare when the verbs come in end and sometime first 😇😬😬😬😬😂😂😂 every german learner finds no sequence in german
SEHR HILLFREICH
Is this just AI or do you really exist as a person and sound like this?
😂 I exist! I’m a teacher in the UK 🤣
This is the best explanation I have been looking for 🤩 for over one year.
Thank you so much for explaining this sentence construction very well 🙌✨🫶🏻
Danke
