What this grammar point covers
Aussagesätze are declarative sentences in German. They are used to give information, state facts, or express opinions.
When to use it
Use Aussagesätze when you want to tell something, describe a situation, or give information in German.
Key forms
- Subject + Verb + (rest of the sentence)
- Example: Ich lerne Deutsch.
- The verb is always in the second position.
Examples
Du hast ein Buch.
English: You have a book.
Wir wohnen in Berlin.
English: We live in Berlin.
Er spielt Fußball.
English: He plays soccer.
Tips
- Remember: The verb must always be in the second position in the sentence.
- If you start the sentence with something other than the subject, the subject comes after the verb.
- Do not use a question mark or change your voice at the end; Aussagesätze end with a period.
Exceptions and edge cases
- Sometimes, adverbs or objects can come at the beginning of the sentence. The verb stays in the second position.
