English to german translation?

Im confused on how to translate English to German. If you are talking in the present tense, do you put the verb to the end? What is the word order? like where do you put subjct and verb in the sentence?English to german translation?
There are different rules gouverning word order:

1. If the sentence starts with the subject, the word order is the same as in English: subject - conjugated verb - object - prepositional phrases. "Der Mann sieht den Hund." (present)

but in the perfect tense: "Der Mann hat den Hund gesehen." Any adverbial or prepositional phrases go before the past participle or the prefix of a separable verb: "Der Mann hat den Hund gestern im Garten gesehen." "Ich kaufe in der Stadt ein."

Modal verbs behave accordingly: " Der Mann kann den Hund jetzt im Garten sehen."



2. If the sentence starts with any other part than the subject - and in German you can start with the accusative or dative object if you feel like it, though mostly it would be an adverbial or prepositional phrase of time - the subject goes BEHIND the verb. "Gestern hat der Mann den Hund gesehen."English to german translation?
Verb always goes in 2nd position and the subject and the verb are always next to each other (so subject is either in 1st or 3rd position). It would only be in 3rd if you put something like a time phrase in 1st.

With separable verbs, the end part goes in 2nd position and the beginning goes at the end.

With modals (things like should, would, could, want, allowed, etc.) you put the modal in 2nd position and the other verb is at the very end.



If you're making very simple sentences, just keep subject 1st and verb 2nd. Like "I am Jane" would be "Ich heisse/bin Jane."English to german translation?
If I am talking in present tense, I do it this way: Heute gehe ich zur Arbeit - Today I go (will go) to work. The verb can be at the end of a sentence, e. g. "Das kann man machen". But this "k枚nnen" is a modal verb which needs afterwards an infinitiv %26amp; this infinitiv is always put at the end. Mostly the verb is put in the middle of every present tense sentence. The subject "ich" etc. is put after the verb, e. g. "Nachher kochen wir etwas zu essen."
I don't know who gave haggesitze the thumbs down, except that s/he hasn't got a clue.



In my view hers is a good explanation, I'd go with that.
