German Grammar Roadmap What is a Sentence? Verb Subject / Objects Word Order What is a Sentence? A sentence has a subject (an implied one, at least) and a verb and expresses a complete thought. Verb In German, the verb is the dictator of the German sentence. Now look at the verb, give. Notice that all the different ways of saying give (donate, present, send, hand, throw, mail, pass, etc.) have the same basic pattern as giver, given, givee. Return to top Subject / Objects Case is very important and gives German flexibility in word order that English doesn't have. Word Order German uses word order differently than English. Verb: When the conjugated verb (the form with the endings that agree with the subject) is in first position in the sentence, then the sentence is either a command or a yes/no question. Nouns: Genitives usually follow the noun they are connecting. Other elements: After the conjugated verb and objects, other elements are placed in order of time (first), manner (second), and place (third).

We learn by making mistakes.
