In the second part of the series "trennbare Verben" I am going to teach you the syntax of separable verbs in a sentence. More specific in a main clause (Hauptsatz), subordinate clause (Nebensatz) and sentences with modal verbs. Most important here: If it comes to separable verbs in German in a main clause you need to separate them, but in a subordinate clause you don't separate the verb and the prefix is right in front of the verb. But of course you still need to conjugate it! ;) Viel Spass und bis bald Luzi

Trennbare Verben or in English separable verbs are an important part of the German language. It is a special kind of verb which precedes a prefix due to which the entire meaning of the verb is changed. In this first video of that series I will teach you the basics of these "trennbare Verben", after which you hopefully will understand why there are weird short words at the end of some German sentences. At the end of the video I am going to give to you the most important prefixes you should try to memorize so you can distinguish separable from non-separable verbs. The German separable verbs are special kind of verb which cannot be neglected and is important to know for any German learner. Viel Spass Luzi This video is part 2 of the positioning of "nicht". Die Position von Nicht im Satz. There are in total 8 different situations where you can place "nicht" on a different position. Main rule: "Nicht precedes the sentence element you want to negate. Except the verb. But more about this you can find in this video. Part 1 was about the rules, this video is all about examples to each and every situation. The position of "nicht" complete. Viel Spass und bis bald Luzi A big problem for German students: Which place do you have to put the "nicht"? What is the position of "nicht"? In this video I will teach you the positioning of the negation word "nicht". In general, "nicht" always precedes the sentence element you want to negate. But there is one exception, which is the verb. Because the verb is fixed on either the 2nd position or as a main verb on the last position, you need to put the "nicht" at the end, or if there are two verbs, in front of the main verb. But this and many more other examples with rules and explanation you can find in this video. "Nicht" explained! Viel Spass Luzi |
