More grammar
When you make a statement or observation, the sentence has this basic structure:
1) the subject
(who/what is doing something?)
Wir
2) the verb
(what are they doing?)
gehen
3) the rest of the sentence
(when, where, what, etc.)
einkaufen.
Wir
gehen
einkaufen.
And just like in English,
Remember, this structure is used for statements and observations only – not for questions.
4 Put the pieces in the correct order
Read, listen and repeat
German also has a „schwa-sound“. It sounds just like the a in the English word about. You can hear it as the subtle e in these German words: komme, heiße, Diebe, and Adamstraße.
Other words sound different because the e is not subtle. You can hear it in: er, Entschuldigung, es, Geld

Hello,
In ‘Frau Maywald arbeitet heir nicht,’ the ‘nicht’ goes at the end of the sentence. But in ‘Ich habe nicht genug Geld,’ it’s not at the end. How do I know where to place the ‘nicht’ correctly?
By the way, absolutely loving these lessons and podcasts. I am getting so much out of it and really feel like I am making progress.
Thanks,
Lilly
Hi Lilly,
Thank you very much! Nicht goes before the specific word of short phrase that is being negated (“Ich habe nicht genug Geld.”). If there is no specific part of the sentence that is being negated (if the whole sentece is being negated), nicht goes to the end (“Frau Maywald arbeitet hier nicht.”).
