Key Grammar Structures

➔ The conjunction "dass" introduces a subordinate clause, pushing the verb "wahren" to the very end of the sentence.
-
Das Erste, was dir auffällt, wenn du endlich ankommst, ist Vergangenheit.
➔ Relative clause with 'was'
➔ The relative pronoun "was" is used here to refer back to the neuter noun "Das Erste".
-
Du warst ewig nicht mehr hier.
➔ Präteritum (Past tense)
➔ The verb "sein" is used in the "Präteritum" tense as "warst" to describe a past state.
-
Und auf einmal vergleichst du den, der hier weg ist, mit dem, der du jetzt bist.
➔ Relative pronouns (Dative)
➔ The preposition "mit" requires the "Dative" case, so the relative pronoun "dem" is used.
-
Egal, was du machst, du willst hier nicht bleiben.
➔ Modal verb 'wollen'
➔ The modal verb "willst" expresses intention or desire and is followed by an infinitive at the end.
-
Und alle fragen dich nach ihr.
➔ Prepositional object
➔ The verb "fragen" combined with "nach" forms a fixed phrase to ask about someone.
-
Das Letzte, was dir auffällt, ist, dass du sie immer noch vermisst.
➔ Separable verb 'auffallen'
➔ The prefix "auf-" is separated from the verb "fallen" in the main clause structure.
-
Du fährst in die Heimat.
➔ Preposition 'in' with Accusative
➔ Since this indicates a movement towards a place, 'in' takes the "Accusative" case here.
