I can explain what I like and don't like, giving reasons using the correct word order with 'denn' and 'weil'.

Show transcript
'Weil' and 'denn' both mean 'because'. Both are conjunctions and connect clauses or sentences. In German there is always a comma before 'weil' or 'denn'. 'Denn' is followed by word order 1 (WO1), subject-verb word order. 'Weil' is followed by word order 3 (WO3), where the verb goes to the end of the sentence. Use 'weil' and 'denn' to give reasons for likes and dislikes.
