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.
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.
Not only did I finally get understanding as to what the rules for German Syntax is, I also got a really helpful explanation for the English. I no longer feel 🥶 like an alien 👽 on this planet 🌎. Live long 🖖 and prosper.
Quick Summary: - The 1st verb always has to be in the second position - 2nd verb goes at the end of the sentence - The rest is mostly flexible (like English)
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!
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
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...
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!
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. :)
Excellent way to decipher construction of a sentence. First verb has to be where it's - whether in English or German - but the second verb is tossed at the end in German - that is the key. For normal people it makes things topsy turvy. But you laid bare the trick. Danke!
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
Vielen Dank! This was very clear and helpful! Thank you for touching on the urge as an English speaket to arrange sentence structure a specific way, which has been my biggest stumbling block to learing German. I will definetly be checking out your other videos.
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 :)
Thank you for this, I have an online course from the library I've been using and it has mostly just taught me vocabulary and has moved onto sentences without teaching syntax; this helps so much more now. I like your format of using 1-5 positions, it sort of makes me feel like I'm learning music when remembering which verb noun goes where! lol
Thank you for helping my simple mind to understand this! I must confess, everything was running smoothly, and strangely every sentence I came across followed English rules, however one day that stopped. I've been confused ever since.
I started learning German 2 weeks ago and your video is very, very helpful!! You're very good at explaining. Your video is the best one I have come across! Thank you so much!! Keep up the good work!!🙏
Your videos are good , we’ll made and easy to understand , this video in particular made reading German easier for me . I was really confused on how the German language sentences were formed and you explained it easily ! Thank you

Great question! So the reason is that this tense in German is like the “have arrived” tense in English where there are always two verbs, “have” and “arrived” (with this verb, it is obviously “are” and “arrived” in German). German does have the tense (simple past) where you can just say “arrived”, but it’s less common. Hope that helps!
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?
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???
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".
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 :)
I am so thankful for an explanation of German Word Order that I can understand!
Good to hear!

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
This is the best explanation of German word order I have come across. I have been studying German for two years.
Thanks for the encouragement!

You have a magical way to teach. The English-German comparison made it so easy to comprehend.
Thnx

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?
Hello great video! Can you cover word over for subordinate clauses
can someone explain to me please, in the end of the sentences, is it always have “en“ in the end of the 2nd verb ?
The second verb doesn’t get conjugated so usually yea it’ll be -en but there are a few exceptions
@LucaMiro-s2p thanks, i apreciate if you maybe want to give me an example for the exceptions u have meant
Good job!!
Cheers!
Very useful thank you sir
Sehr Helfrich kanal. Danke
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!
How are your videos organised? I struggle to find a logic…
A nice style thanks
I figure if I watch this enough I will just memorize the entire video and Therefore the content of the video
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".
Super helpful, thank you!
You're welcome!
I have learnt something thanks
Thank you. I will get eventually, maybe.
Good content ! Move up bro
