lingoni GERMAN (9) - How to say "Did you know...?" - B1 [2021 Version]

hi guys my name is jacqueline and today i'm going to talk about the subordinate conjunction das das we haven't talked about subordinate conjunctions yet but i'll start off real slow i'll give you a couple of examples it's really not that difficult so let's get started [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the word das is one of the most important subordinate conjunctions in german now you have to remember that when you use das in a sentence the structure will change i want to introduce you to the subordinate conjunction by introducing you to the phrase did you know that did you know that he got promoted did you know that they're moving to berlin let's take a look at some more examples in subordinate clauses the structure of the sentence let's take a look at the first example the main clause is ich haber morgen kubworth tomorrow is my birthday ich kobutstak we have the verb haber which means have and it's in the second position now as soon as we add a subordinate clause we need to put the verb into a different position we put it in the last position so this is what it looks like harbor did you know that tomorrow is my birthday stu does morgan so the verb haber goes to the end of the sentence that's pretty much all you need to know let's take a look at the second example reina woulda before reina was promoted raina verde before this is a passive voice sentence we can see that the verb vorder is in the second position now let's take a look at the subordinate clause vustustu das reina beferadvor did you know that reina was promoted we have the main clause and we have the subordinate clause das so the verb goes to the end of the sentence had em lottovonnen luisa has won the lottery luisa vonnen we're using the perfect tense here we're using the helping word hat and the past participle govonnen so the helping word is in the second position and the past participle is in the last position this is what happens in the main clause if we have a subordinate clause we need to put both verbs at the end of the sentence in the second to last position you have the past participle and in the last position you have the helping verb did you know that loisa won the lottery stu does luisa govonnenhat helena hold iron man from bernhard helena is picking up her husband from the train station helena hold iron man from bahnhof up here we're using the separable verb apollon we talked about separable verbs in this video right here make sure to watch it if you missed it we told you that in the present tense you have to separate the prefix from the stem of the verb so the prefix here is up the infinitive is abholen so here in the main clause you separate the prefix from the stem so you have the prefix at the end now in a subordinate clause you have to forget that rule because that rule doesn't apply in a subordinate clause you do not separate the prefix from the stem so this is what it sounds like woosters do das helene is did you know that helena is picking up her husband from the train station so here we have the verb in the last position and the verb here is uphold we do not separate the verb in this instance now let's see if you guys understood this let me give you a sentence and you're going to have to form a sentence that uses the conjunction he is still studying now how would you say did you know that he's still studying the answer is is crank schwibben thomas is on sick leave thomas is crank schrieben now how would you say did you know that thomas is on sick leave the answer is this do does thomas conquer mist is do does thomas cranker schreib so how would you say did you know zaskia quit the answer is voicetustu kundit all right now you know how to use death in a subordinate sentence thanks for joining me today remember that you can also learn french and english at lingoni you can find more information on lingoni.com we have hundreds of worksheets podcasts and exclusive videos for you guys as well as a tool to practice pronunciation this by it
