đ¤â¤đ Top Tip: Sentence structure verbs Second: In normal statements, the conjugated verb is ALWAYS the second element in the sentence đ¤â¤đ veeery strict rule.
An âelementâ may consist of more than one word: âheute Abendâ for instance, is just one element, as is âgestern um 12 Uhr mittagsâ -- both are time elements; they consist of several words.
âV2â: almost any element OTHER than the verb can move to the first place in a sentence. If you want to emphasize the time when something happened, start with the time element; if itâs the object thatâs important, start with that. But in all cases, no matter what starts the sentence, the verb will be the second element. If the subject is not the first element, then it will be third - the verb and the subject always need to stay close together đ¤â¤ď¸đ #GermanMind #LearnGerman #verbsecond #germanhelp #grammarhelp #germangrammar #grammarisgood #learninganewlanguage #grammarlove
