- Verb is in second position: gehe

Tips
- Always put the verb in the second position in the sentence.
- The subject usually comes first, but sometimes another element (like time) can be first—then the verb is still second.
- Don't forget to end the sentence with a period (.).
Exceptions and edge cases
- If you start the sentence with something other than the subject (like time or place), the verb must still be in the second position, and the subject comes after the verb.
