--- Quote from: #1procrastinator on May 16, 2013, 05:30:20 am ---Does the sentence below make sense? I'm trying to say I was born in Melbourne and liver there for 14 years. My original sentence was arranged differently and it was corrected but I'm not sure if I'm interpreting my teacher's corrections correctly.

Ich bin in Melbourne in Victoria geboren und ich wohne seit vierzehn Jahre in Melbourne.

EDIT: What is the plural form of 'is'? For example, how would I say, 'my favorite films are....'. If it was one, then I would say 'Mein Lieblingsfilm ist...'. I'm not sure if it's correct to use 'sind'

--- End quote ---

It would be "Ich bin in Melbourne,in Victoria, geboren und wohne seit vierzehn Jahren in Melbourn"

and

'Mein Lieblingsfilm ist...' would mean 'My favorite film is'

and

'Meine Lieblingsfilme sind...' would mean 'My favorite films are...'

What would be wrong with this sentence then?
Dieses Semester mein Fücher sind...

--- End quote ---

it is Fächer not Fücher :p and as nina said the verb goes second

"Dieses Semester sind meine Fächer English, Deutsch und Geschichte."


--- Quote from: ninwa on May 17, 2013, 12:13:05 am ---The verb almost always comes 2nd (an exception would be certain conjunctions, like weil, that send the verb the end of the sentence/phrase), so it should be Dieses Semester sind mein Fücher...

Can you post the rest of that sentence for context? :)

Also, what does Fücher mean? I tried to look it up and couldn't find it.

--- End quote ---

I think he means Fächer (Subjects)

#1procrastinator:
Yep, sorry, meant 'Fächer'.  ;D

Oh man, looks like I made a crapload of errors then  :P

Thanks  :)

#1procrastinator:
Mögen Sie Motorrad oder Fahrrad fahren?

Should I put 'fahren' after 'Motorrad' as well?

--

Can you use 'mögen' in place of gern? Is there any subtle differences in German?
e.g. 'Ich mag Gitarre spielen' rather than  'Ich spiele Gitarre gern'

To say, 'shes like to do physics', would it be, 'Sie macht Physik gern'? Not sure what verb to use  :P

#1procrastinator:
Thanks!

What's the 'es' for and do we have to put 'zu' in?
