Well, some examples for the conjunctional adverbs are “dann, schließlich, trotzdem, zuvor, …” Here, the following rule has to be applied: In a clause that is introduced by a conjunctional adverb, the finite verb comes before the subject.Ĭonjunctional adverb + finite verb + subject + … Conjunctional AdverbsĪs a last type of German conjunctions, I’d like to list the conjunctional adverbs. By the way, dependent clauses that are introduced by a subjunction are called conjunctional clauses. As already mentioned, please, try to keep them in mind: “bevor, da, dass, falls, weil, wenn, …”. So, that means that in a clause that is introduced by a subjunction, the finite verb is placed at the end of the sentence.Īnd, of course, I’d like to give you some examples for this type of German conjunctions, the subjunctions. Well, this type is called “subjunctions”. Now, we come to the next type of German conjunctions. So, coordinating conjunctions are: “aber, denn, oder, und.” Subjuncions So, try to keep that type of German conjunction in mind. Of course, we should add some coordinating conjunctions here. Well, in a clause that is introduced by a conjunction, the sentence structure s exactly the same as in a normal main clause. So, this first type of German conjunctions connects two main clauses. In the following, I’d like to describe each one of them in some detail. So, as already mentioned, there are different types of conjunctions. Well, let’s have a look at the first topic of this article about the German conjunctions.
Conditional conjunctions: “ falls, wenn”.Consecutive conjunctions: “ daher, so – dass”.Causal conjunctions: “ weil, da, wegen, denn”.Local conjunctions: “ wo, woher, wohin”.Temporal conjunctions: “ als, nachdem, bevor, während, seit”.“ Denn” is a conjunction which indicates that one message justifies the other one.“Er besucht noch keine Universität, sondern er geht erst in die Schule.” The conjunction “ sondern” corrects a negative message.“Man kann dort gut wandern gehen, aber man kann dort nicht rasten.” The conjunction “ aber” is used in case one message of a main clause restricts the other.Conjunctions introduce a sentence, and so must be at the beginning of the sentence. “ Entweder brät das Ei oder es knurrt der Magen.” In German grammar, prepositions are followed by a noun (which could be in the accusative, dative or genitive form depending on the preposition).
Another disjunction “entweder, oder” indicates, that message of the two main clauses exclude each other.The disjunction “ oder” also connects two main clauses, but here only one of them has to be true.The conjunction “ und” connects two main clauses to a “Satzreihe”, in case the the two of them are true.You can connect two main clauses (a so called “ Satzreihe” in German) or you can connect a main clause and a subordinate clause (a so called “ Satzgefüge“). Conjunctions are used to connect two sentences.
