Synopsis

This book provides an extensive comparison of German and English syntax, explaining German syntax from the perspective of the English speaker. The author's intention is not to provide an exhaustive treatment of every conceivable German construction or feature, but instead to highlight the most important and common aspects that present difficulties to English speakers learning German. The book covers all parts of speech, including articles, nouns, pronouns, adjectives and adverbs. Special attention is paid to verbs, including the use of tenses, subjunctive, modal auxiliaries, infinitives and participles. The author also discusses a variety of complex constructions, such as those involving word order and the use of certain prepositions and conjunctions. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of understanding the grammatical structure and logical arrangement of German sentences. By approaching German syntax from a comparative perspective, learners can gain a deeper understanding of the language and avoid common pitfalls. The insights provided in this book will enable English speakers to communicate effectively in German, both in writing and verbally.
