Migration: imperfect modal verbs, word order with two-verb structures

Revisit vocabulary often to help it stick in your memory. Some conjunctions do not affect word order, e.g., 'und, oder, denn'. These are sometimes knows as word order 1 (WO1). Subordinating conjunctions (word order 3) send the conjugated verb to the end of the clause, e.g., 'weil, obwohl, dass'. Modal verbs neeed a 2nd verb in the infinitive. In standard word order (WO1) the infinitive is at the end of the clause. In 2-verb structures with a subordinating conjunction (WO3), the conjugated verb is at the end, after the infinitive.
