[v] is pronounced as in 'vor' and [w] as in 'Welt'. The letter f' sounds the same in both languages. In 2-verb structures, the 2nd verb in the infinitive comes at the end of the sentence. Some verbs require the addition of 'zu' when combined with a 2nd (infinitive) verb. Infinitive constructions with 'zu' are separated from other clauses with a comma. 'Um ... zu', meaning 'in order to', is used with an infinitive to answer the question 'why?'.
