I will share daily exercises as well as helpful links with you. I want to know it! And if you like it I am glad and hope that I can continue to help you with hints, advice and simple explanations in the future as well. Use the comments under each lesson for feedback! I love feedback! Also if you think I could do better. Subordinate clauses start with subordinate conjunctions: „ weil/da“, „ obwoh l“, „ damit“, „ dass“, „ so dass“, „ indem“ and „ als/wenn“.Infinitive Phrases (infinitive with zu) and Infinitive Constructions (um/anstatt/ohne … zu) are subordinate clauses as well.A general overview of subordinate clauses can be found in lecture: Subordinate Clause.Normally the subordinate clause comes before the main clause, and in this case it is possible to leave out „wenn“ and put the verb in position 1.When talking about the past they can only function with the subjunctive 2.Conditional clauses are a type of subordinate clause. They state a condition that has to be fulfilled for the other action to take place.If „wenn“ is left out it sounds more like a warning than a condition. = „ Lügst du mich an, bekommst du 1 Woche Hausarrest!“ „ Wenn du mich anlügst, bekommst du 1 Woche Hausarrest!“.„ Wenn du zu spät kommst, gibt es Ärger.“.The conjugated verb then moves to position 1. ![]() When the subordinate clause comes before the main clause, it is possible to leave „wenn“ out. (Everything stays regular: verb in the subordinate clause at the end of the clause and the verb of the main clause straight after the comma.) „ Wenn du für mich das Geschirr abwäschst, helfe ich dir.“.But normally the subordinate clause comes first, because the conditions are the most important information in the sentence. (Verb in position 2 in the main clause and in the end at the subordinate clause.) „Ich helfe dir, wenn du für mich das Geschirr abwäschst.“.When the main clause comes before the subordinate clause, everything stays the same: More Information about Subjunctive 2 in lecture 4.11. The conditions are unreal because it is impossible to fulfill them. „ Wenn ich mehr gelernt hätte, hätte ich die Prüfung bestanden.“.Therefore we must use the subjunctive 2 in order to express the unreal things. When talking about the past, it is not possible for the conditions to be satisfied. „ Sofern du nicht zum Treffen kommst,…“.„Sofern“ can ony be uses in combination with negations. ![]() „ Wenn ich keine Zeit habe,…“ (= Neutral).„ Falls/Sofern ich keine Zeit habe, gebe ich dir Bescheid!“.For „falls“ and „sofern“, the probability of the condition being satisfied is relatively small. ![]() The difference between „wenn“, „falls“ and „sofern“ lies in the probabilities. Differences: „wenn“, „falls“, and „sofern“ ⇒ The action „spazieren gehen“ depends on the weather. The condition for the action „spazieren gehen“is good weather tomorrow. „ Wenn das Wetter schön ist, gehe ich morgen spazieren.“ The subordinate clause states the conditions that are necessary for the main clause to occur. ⇒ The action of the subordinate clause has to be finished before the action of the main clause can occur „Ich komme nach Hause, wenn ich mit der Arbeit fertig bin.“ The conditional clause can be introduced by „wenn“, „falls“, or „sofern“. The question words are: Wann? Unter welcher Bedingung? A conditional clause gives a condition or circumstance that must be fulfilled in order for an action to take place. Conditional clauses are subordniate clauses, so the verb goes at the end.
