German grammar is the study of the morphology and syntax of German.

The German spelling has the following features:

• common nouns as proper nouns are capitalized, while only the names have this feature in French.

We write for example der Tisch ("table") or die Dame ("the lady").

• The subordinate clauses are obligatorily preceded by a comma. It writes: Ich habe meinem Sohn zehn Euro gegeben, weil er sehr brav gewesen ist ("I gave 10 euro to my son because he was very wise") with a comma before the proposal conjunctiva begins the subordinating conjunction ("because").

Parts of speech

Syntax

Syntax proposal for independent and major

According to German grammar, words can generally be placed at any position in the sentence, often on the insistence that there is, however, some rules are respected:

• The verb should be placed in second position: "Peter und gehen ins Kino Martina."
• The subject must always be glued to the verb but we can say:
  • either "Peter und gehen ins Kino Martina." It insists on the identity of those who go to movies.
  • or "Ins Kino gehen und Martina Peter." It then emphasizes the place where they go.
• Every verb is not conjugated (ie an infinitive or past participle) is in last place: "Peter und ins Kino gehen wollen Martina." Pierre and Martine want to go to the movies. "Peter und sind ins Kino gegangen Martina." Peter and Martin went to the movies. We will say again, this time with the verb mssen, "Olivers Vater geht nach Berlin muss seine Familie umziehen."

Syntax of the subordinate

The verb is in last place: "Ich glaube, dass ich krank bin."

When the verb is conjugated in a compound tense, the auxiliary meets the above rules, but the past participle is in penultimate place where last place is already taken by a verb respecting one of the above rules.
"Ich glaube, dass Peter Martina und ins Kino gehen wollen" I think Peter and Martin want to go to the movies.
"Ich glaube, dass Peter und ins Kino gegangen sind Martina" I think Peter and Martin went to the movies.

An exception to this rule, when double infinitive is written: "Ich glaube, dass er nicht kommen knnen hat" I think it could not come. This form is not common.

Syntax proposal interrogative

• The verb is usually in first place: "Hast du deine Hausaufgaben gemacht?"
• But if the question is submitted by an interrogative pronoun (who, what, where ...), the verb retains its second place: "Wer ist der beste Spieler?" Who is the best player?

Morphology

The words can be placed at any position in the sentence, it is not the position in the proposal that distinguishes the roles performed by each word in the sentence. To determine this function, the German language uses a system of declensions. It is said that the German language (such as Greek and Latin) is an inflected language Thus, it is not the place of words that defines the meaning of the sentence, but the endings are some words.

One case is the name given to the function occupies a word in a sentence. Thus, in contrast to Latin which includes 7, German includes 4 cases generally presented in the following order:

• The nominative case-the subject and / or its attribute
• The accusative case-DOC ( direct object ), the additional time, and after certain prepositions
• The dative , the case of IOC ( indirect object ), after certain prepositions and some verbs
• The genitive , where the CDN ( add name ), after some few prepositions and verbs
