  1. die Wortstellung Teil I (Part I) In general, the word order of German is more varied and more flexible than in English. Today we will take a look at some of the most important rules when thinking about word order in German. By Herr Wallace

  2. Regel # 1 (Rule # 1) In German statements or clauses, the verb is always the 2nd Idea but this does not mean that it is always the 2nd word. Beispiele Erfährt am Mittwochmitdem Zug nach Berlin. Emphasis on who. Am Mittwochfährtermitdem Zug nach Berlin. Emphasis on when. Mitdem Zug fährter am Mittwochnach Berlin. Emphasis on how.

  3. Regel # 2 (Rule # 2) When you have 2 verbs in a statement or clause, the auxiliary verb stays in the 2nd position and the main verb goes to the end. (with modal verbs and some tenses) Beispiele Erkannam Montagnach Berlin fahren. Auxiliary verb Main verb Erist am Montagnach Berlin gefahren. Auxiliary verb Main verb

  4. Regel # 3 (Rule # 3) Often, something other than the subject is emphasized in a German sentence. When this happens, the verb remains the 2nd idea and is immediately followed by the subject. Beispiele Am Montagisternach Berlin gefahren. verb subject Keksemagicham liebsten. verb subject

  5. Regel # 4 (Rule # 4) The golden rule in German is time, manner and place. (wann, wie, wo). In German, expressions involving these elements must be exactly in that order. Beispiele Erfährtam Mittwochmitdem Zugnach Berlin. Manner Place Time If you want to place emphasis on one element, it moves to the front, and the rest follow in normal order. Mitdem Zugfährteram Mittwochnach Berlin. Emphasizing manner

  6. die Wortstellung Teil II (Part 2) In our first video, you learned the first 4 rules of German word order. In this video, we will be continuingour discussion on the rules of German word order.

  7. Regel # 5 (Rule # 5) Conjunctions play an important role in German word order. When it comes to their affect on word order, they can be grouped into two categories. Each has a different affect on word order. Coordinating Conjunctions nebenordnendeKonjunktionen they are…(Siesind..) aber und oderdenn sondern but and or because but rather

  8. Coordinating Conjunctions nebenordnendeKonjunktionen Coordinating Conjunctions connect two independent clauses and they do not affect normal word order…. Beispiele IchmagÄpfelundRosinen. Verb is still the 2nd idea. Ichkannmit dir gehenaberichmusszuerstmeineHausaufgabemachen. Verb is still the 2nd idea. Du kannstmitunsspielenoder du kannstmitihnenspielen.

  9. Suboordinating Conjunctions unterordnendeKonjunktionen The list of subordinating conjunctions in German is considerably long. weildaßobwohl damitals ob ob wennalsalswenn bevorbisehe falls indemnachdem seitdemsobaldsolange so daßsooftsoviel soweitwährendwarum was wowoher wohinwiewie oft wievielwielangeweshalb because that although So that As if if when/if when (past) As when before until before In case In which After which Since then As soon as As long as So that As often as As much as As far as while why what where Where from Where to how How often How much How long Why / for what reason

  10. Suboordinating Conjunctions unterordnendeKonjunktionen subordinating Conjunctions connect subordinating clauses with main clauses. Unlike coordinating Conjunctions, they do affect the word order of a sentence and send the verb to the end of the clause. Subordinating clauses are often introduced by commas. Subordinating conjunction Ichkannnichtgehen,weilichmeineHausaufgabemachenmuss. Verb moves to the end.

  11. jedoch, also, trotzdem These conjunctions attract the verb, meaning that when they are used as conjunctions, the verb will come directly after them. Ich bin schonmüde, trotzdemgeheichmit dir. Ichhabekein Geld,jedochfliegeichnach Deutschland. WirhabeneineguteMannschaft, alsowerdenwirgewinnen.

  12. die Wortstellung Teil III (Part 3) In our first two videos over this topic, you learned the first 5 rules of German word order. In this video, we will be finishing up our discussion on the rules of German word order.

  13. Regel # 6 (Rule # 6) Fragewörter? When a question is framed using one of the question words, the word order remains unchanged. That is to say, that the verb remains the second idea. Was? Wie? Wer? Wann? Wer? Warum? Wohin? Woher?

  14. Beispiele Was hast du gekauft? Wowarst du? Wannwerdenwirgehen? Wiekannstdu das sagen? Wohingehst du? Warumgehst du? Woherkommst du?

  15. Wie? The question word “wie” often adds modifiers which count as part of the question word. Wie altbistdu? Wievielehast du? Wie oft istdas passiert? Wielange muss ichwarten?

  16. Wessen? - whose The question word “wessen” changes word order. When using “wessen” the next word will be the subject and the verb will take the 3rd position. WessenBleistiftistdas? Subject Verb

  17. Regel # 7 (Rule # 7) FragenohneFragewörter When forming questions without a question word, the verb takes the first position and the subject the second. Essentially, the word order is inverted. Du hast einenHund. Hast dueinenHund? DuspielstFußball. SpielstduFußball?
