Grammar review: Lesson 5
1) Word order in sentences with information of time Remember that in German, we can position an information of time either at the beginning of the sentence or in the middle of the sentence. For example: 1) Jede Woche (every week) gehe ich schwimmen. I go swimming every week. Information of time (blue) at the beginning. OR: 2) Ich gehe jede Woche schwimmen. I go swimming every week. Information of time (blue) in the middle of the sentence. The following rule described the sentence order in a sentence with an information of time:
2) Reflexive verbs We also talked about reflexive verbs and that these verbs need a reflexive pronoun as their direct object. The reflexive pronouns in German were:
3) Word order in sentences with reflexive verbs and information of time Brfore we do some exercises: Remember that when you have a reflexive pronoun, which sort of acts like a direct object, and you have the information of time in the middle of the sentence, the only allowed constellation of the sentence is: subject - 1st verb (reflexive verb) - direct object (reflexive pronoun) - time Thus, never put the information of time between a reflexive verb and its reflexive pronoun! Exercise Build complete and correct German sentences by using the following German fragments. Always put the information of time in the middle of the sentence. Example: die Decke - streicht - am Donnerstag - mein Vater Mein Vater streicht am Donnerstag die Decke. OR: Mein Vater streicht die Decke am Donnerstag.
Exercise This time, build a comlete German sentence by putting the information of time at the beginning of the sentence. Example: jede Woche - wir - den Rasen - mähen Jede Woche mähen wir den Rasen.
