Hi kids! Today we'll learn about verb placement in German sentences, which is key for sentence structure.
The main rule: in a typical Aussagesatz (declarative sentence), the verb is always in second position. For example, "Ich lerne Deutsch" (lerne - I learn) shows the verb second. But, for a 'yes'/'no' question (Fragesatz), the verb shifts to first position. For instance, "Lernst du Deutsch?" (Lernst - Do you learn) starts the sentence.
Mastering these two core rules will make sentence building much easier. Just a little practice is needed!
