German grammar

German Clauses

Where German word order gets interesting. Subordinate clauses send the verb to the end; indirect speech uses reported-speech signals learners eventually need to recognise in real time.

Textbook German Clauses

The standard forms taught in German courses worldwide, illustrated with real clips from native speakers, not invented examples.

German Clause Connectors

Subordinating connector (dass / wenn / weil / ob …) + clause with verb at the end

German clause connectors are essential for linking ideas in real German. This page focuses on the subordinating ones, dass, wenn, weil, ob, obwohl, that send the verb to the end of the clause, one of the most distinctive word-order patterns learners need to hear in natural speech.
