56
Q

To find out somebody’s profession, ask:

A

„Was sind Sie von Beruf?“

  1. Ich bin Bauingenieurin. ………… I am a civil engineer.
  2. Mein Bruder ist Student. ………. My brother is a student.
  3. Frau Fischer ist Ärztin. …………. Ms Fischer is a doctor.
  4. Herr Schmidt ist Lehrer. ……….. Mr Schmidt is a teacher.
  5. Sie ist Buchhalterin. ………………. She is an accountant.
  6. Er ist Architekt. ……………………….. He is an architect.
57
Q

There are two different types of question in German:

A
  1. “W-word” questions begin with
    an interrogative pronoun,
    followed by the verb + subject.

Wie heißt du?
Woher kommst du?
Wer ist das?

2.“Yes / No” questions begin
with the verb, followed by
the subject.

Heißt du Thomas?
Kommst du aus Berlin?
Ist das die Professorin?

58
Q

Time vs Place

A

When you have more than one element after the verb
(other than the subject), word order can be flexible.
As a general rule, though, Germans will tend to place anything that refers to time before any elements that refer to place.

It is the other way around in English.

Compare:
Ich gehe heute ins Kino.
I am going to the cinema today.

Er arbeitet jetzt hier.
He is working here now.

Ich fahre morgen nach Berlin.
I am going to Berlin tomorrow

59
Q

Word order

A

The most fundamental principle of German word order is that the conjugated
verb is always in second position in a statement (a basic sentence).

Unlike English, however, where the subject almost always precedes the verb,
in German the subject can either precede or directly follow the verb.

Subject
and verb must stay together, but the subject can be the first or the third element.

Compare the three following options for the same sentence:
Ich lerne heute Deutsch. Heute lerne ich Deutsch. Deutsch lerne ich heute.
