Key Grammar Structures
-
So viele Worte sind geschrieben
➔ Passive Voice (Present Perfect)
➔ The structure is "sind + geschrieben" (auxiliary verb 'sein' in present tense + past participle). It describes an action that was done to the subject (Worte - words).
-
Ihr habt uns mit Applaus getragen
➔ Present Perfect Tense
➔ The phrase "habt getragen" is in the present perfect tense, indicating an action completed at some point in the past. "Mit Applaus" means 'with applause'.
-
Doch nichts im Leben ist unendlich
➔ Subject-Verb Agreement with 'nichts'
➔ "Nichts" (nothing) is treated as singular, so the verb is in the singular form: "ist" (is).
-
Jede Erinnerung ist zu wertvoll, Um nur aus Stolz kein Ende zu sehen
➔ Infinitive Clause with 'um...zu'
➔ The structure "um...zu" introduces an infinitive clause expressing purpose. "Um nur aus Stolz kein Ende zu sehen" means 'in order to not see an end just out of pride'.
-
Auch wenn es weh tut
➔ Subjunctive Mood (Conditional Clause)
➔ "Auch wenn" introduces a concessive clause (even if). "Weh tut" is in subjunctive mood, indicating a hypothetical or unreal situation, or something contrary to fact (it might hurt, but...).
-
Wenn es am schönsten ist
➔ Superlative with 'am'
➔ "Am schönsten" is the superlative form of "schön" (beautiful). The preposition "am" is used to form the superlative for adjectives when they are predicative (i.e., when they come after a verb like "sein").
-
Kein Augenblick ist je verloren
➔ Negative Pronoun 'kein' with Nominative Case
➔ 'Kein' is a negative pronoun, declining like 'ein' (a/an). Here, it's in the nominative case because it's the subject of the sentence, modifying 'Augenblick'.
