Show transcript
Seeing vocabulary in a range of contexts is a good way to support effective learning. Chinese New Year is celebrated every January/February by around 120,000 people of Chinese descent who live in Germany. Conjunctions like ‘denn’ and ‘aber’ do not cause a change in word order. Subordinating conjunctions like ‘weil’ and ‘obwohl’ send the verb to the end of the clause (word order 3). In two-verb structures with subordinating conjunctions, the short form verb is after the infinitive at the end.
