Lesson outcome

I can form different two-verb structures to discuss future plans, and can broaden my vocabulary by spotting connections between German nouns and verbs.

Show transcript
In two-verb structures, the 2nd verb is in the infinitive, at the end of the sentence. In two-verb structures, most verbs add 'zu' before the infinitive verb. A comma separates the verb phrases in two-verb structures, e.g., 'Ich plane, Gemüse zu essen'. Future tense sentences with 'werden', like modal sentences, do not require 'zu' before the infinitive.
