1. 0:00These three sentences all give a reason.
2. 0:18But look at the verb: it sits in a different place in each one.
3. 0:23Pick the right word with the wrong word order, and the examiner sees a grammar mistake.
4. 0:28In four minutes you will learn the three places a German verb can go, the pairs that trip people up, and five traps from our German B1 kit.
5. 0:38In a German statement, the verb takes second place.
6. 0:42Connectors decide what happens to it, and there are only three possibilities.
7. 0:47Group one does not count: aber, denn, und, sondern and oder sit in front, and the sentence carries on as normal.
8. 1:03Group two takes first place itself, so the verb jumps in right after it, before the subject: deshalb, trotzdem and dann work this way.
9. 1:18Group three sends the verb all the way to the end: weil, obwohl, dass, wenn and als.
10. 1:33Learn which group a connector belongs to, and you know its word order.
11. 1:38Here is the catch: most meanings come in all three groups.
12. 1:42For a reason and its result, denn keeps the order, deshalb pulls the verb forward, and weil sends it to the end.
13. 1:52For a contrast, aber keeps the order, trotzdem pulls the verb forward, and obwohl sends it to the end.
14. 2:01And two look-alikes are not connectors at all: wegen and trotz take a noun, not a whole sentence.
15. 2:13Your turn: pause now and pick the word that fits.
16. 2:21It is denn: after it, the subject comes first and the verb second.
17. 2:32With weil, the verb would move to the end of the sentence.
18. 2:37Now five traps from our kit, each with the note that comes on its card.
19. 2:42After a negative, the correction needs sondern.
20. 2:50Using aber here is the classic error.
21. 2:54Pause again: which word fits this sentence?
22. 3:02It is als: German uses it for one event in the past, and wenn for repeated events, the present and the future.
23. 3:17With seitdem, German keeps the present tense where English says "I have been".
24. 3:27Um with zu works only when both parts share one subject; with two different people, use damit.
25. 3:45And weder with noch is already negative, so never add nicht or kein.
26. 3:57Connectors earn points in the B1 exams in two ways.
27. 4:01In the writing tasks, coherence has its own marks, and connectors are the main way to show it.
28. 4:08In the telc exam, gap texts test them directly.
29. 4:12Our German B1 kit has one hundred connector cards, each tagged with the task where it helps most: forty-eight for writing, twenty-seven for speaking, and the rest for reading and listening.
30. 4:25So: group one keeps the order, group two pulls the verb forward, and group three sends it to the end.
31. 4:33Try them in our free practice letter: ten gaps in the shape of the telc task, marked at once, with every answer explained.
