    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.

    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.

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

  • @AjagoZadkeisrealaccount
    @AjagoZadkeisrealaccount 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    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)

    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 ปีที่แล้ว

      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...

    @HarbansSingh-ds2cr 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

    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!

    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

    hello, I would like to ask a question on the fourth sentence in 7:21, why cant we just say "meine geschwister angekommen gestern zu haus", why do we have to add sind as a first verb? (which I am assuming is the same sind that means 'are').

    • @mugridgelanguage
      @mugridgelanguage  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

    • @mugridgelanguage
      @mugridgelanguage  3 ปีที่แล้ว +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".
