Konjunction Wörter

Question 1

Grammatik

CC: Coordinating Conjuntion

TPCC: Two-Part Coordinating Conjunctions

SC: Subordinating Conjunction

Answer 1

In German, a conjunction either “cooordinates” two “equally important” clauses, or it “subordinates” one clause to the other.

Subordinating conjunctions make the verb go to the end in the clause they introduce, while coordinating conjunctions leave the verb position unchanged (==> the verb will usually, but not always, be in position 2 after a coordinating conjunction).

Since conjunctions determine the relation between clauses (and, because, although, as if…), it’s crucial for you to be familiar with their meanings.
