Word order with Adverbs<\/h2>\n

In this post we are looking at the word order of German adverbs. It might also be a good idea to read our blog about German adverbs <\/a> and German adverbs of place<\/a>. In English, adverbs can appear in different places within a sentence. That’s the same in German. For example:<\/p>\n

Tomorrow<\/strong> is my birthday.
\nMy birthday is tomorrow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Adverbs of time<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Adverbs of time can<\/strong> be placed at the beginning of the sentence.<\/li>\n

    For example:<\/strong>
    \nHeute<\/span><\/strong> fliegen wir in Urlaub. \u21e8 We fly on holiday today.
    \nMorgen<\/span><\/strong> spielen wir Fu\u00dfball. \u21e8 We’ll play football tomorrow.<\/ul>\n

      \n
    • But this is not fixed.<\/li>\n

      For example:<\/strong>
      \nWir fliegen heute<\/span><\/strong> in Urlaub.
      \nWir spielen morgen<\/span><\/strong> Fu\u00dfball.<\/ul>\n

      <\/p>\n

      Adverbs of place<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Adverbs of place can<\/strong> be placed at the beginning of a sentence for emphasis.<\/li>\n

        For example:<\/strong>
        \nHier<\/span><\/strong> haben wir uns getroffen. \u21e8 We have met here.
        \nDort<\/span><\/strong> hat er gewohnt. \u21e8 He lived there.<\/ul>\n

          \n
        • But they don’t have to be at the beginning.<\/li>\n

          For example:<\/strong>
          \nWir haben uns hier<\/span><\/strong> getroffen.
          \nEr hat dort<\/span><\/strong> gewohnt.<\/ul>\n

          Note:<\/strong> Object pronouns (mich, dich, ihn, sie, uns etc) come before the adverb as shown in the above sentence.<\/p>\n

          <\/p>\n

          More than 2 adverbs<\/h3>\n

          If there are more than two adverbs in a sentence, the following rule applies:<\/p>\n

          adverb of time<\/span> + adverb of place<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

          For example:<\/strong>
          \nWir sind gestern<\/span> dort<\/span><\/strong> gewesen. \u21e8 We’ve been there yesterday.
          \nTom und Pete gehen heute<\/span> dahin<\/span><\/strong>. \u21e8 Tom and Pete will go there today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
