Hello 🙂 I've noticed over the past few days that some people have been complaining about/making fun of my use of articles. I sometimes have trouble using articles when speaking. For example, I wrote "…before I get into trouble with the teacher," but some (including my family) say it should be "…before I get into…
Hey, I want to learn Spanish, just for fun. I'm currently looking for a good website for learning Spanish. Definitely grammar (and verb conjugation, etc.), but not just something you can read through, but also exercises. And, of course, vocabulary. And definitely free! And I've also looked at Duolingo, but I think the grammar aspect…
In a high-scoring derby between … and … , the momentum swung back and forth several times.
1. I regret taking this train. 2. I regretted taking this train. 3. I regret buying this car. 4. I regretted buying this car.
Hey, I have the following problem: When I speak German, I usually make a lot of mistakes, such as: I'm going home. – But the correct answer is: I'm going home. I'm going in front. – But that's right: I'm going in front. What can I do to avoid making such mistakes again?
For me, only No. 3 sounds somewhat unnatural. Correct are all sentences. At 1. the emphasis lies on the location of the house: Where is the house? At No. 2, the church is stressed: towards the church, not towards the school.
At No. 3 it is emphasized that he has opposed me and not another, at No. 4, that he has not set himself to me.
Of course, you can change this when speaking through the emphasis, but if you read the sentences only, that is the impression I gain.
If the church is opposite, it is inconveniently complicated and sounds like that. Except if you want to emphasize the church or you in the statement of the sentence.
The first and fourth ✨️

For people is always employed? have I understood?
I’m not sure. If you were to say, “he has put himself on a bench opposite the church,” it would have to be right.
Oh, with concrete grammar, you can’t come to me, I answered the question alone for my language feeling 😉
But I think it always comes in the Dativ, whether it is thoughtful or presented
Depends on what person you’re talking about:
If the other main person is: He was lying to me.
If you’re the main person, he’s facing me.
What about
He’s been facing his friend
is correct?
