Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can use word order 1 and 3 with two-verb structures when talking about the challenges of daily life for people with illnesses whose symptoms are often unseen.

Show transcript
Some conjunctions trigger word order 3 and send the verb to the end of the clause. In two-verb structures with WO3, the finite verb, not past participle or infinitive, is sent to the end of the clause. Two-verb structures occur with modal verbs, the future tense with 'werden' and the perfect tense with 'haben' or 'sein'. Useful WO3 conjunctions include 'weil', 'dass', 'obwohl', 'solange', 'sobald' and 'falls'.
