Before I forget, there's a no-smoking rule all over the house

Ngữ pháp:

• Räumen Sie das Zimmer bis um zehn

  ➔ Imperative (formal)

  ➔ The verb "räumen" (to tidy up) is conjugated in the imperative form for "Sie" (formal you). This indicates a polite command or instruction.

• Frühstück gibt's ab acht

  ➔ Shortened form of "es gibt" (there is)

  ➔ "gibt's" is a common colloquial contraction of "es gibt" (there is/are). It's used to indicate availability of something.

• Hinten liegen Taschen oder einer von uns pennt da

  ➔ Word order in main clause (verb position)

  ➔ In this sentence, the subject ("Taschen" or "einer von uns") comes *after* the verb "liegen" and "pennt" (to lie/sleep). This is because the sentence starts with an adverbial phrase of place ("Hinten"). When a sentence begins with something other than the subject, the verb often comes before the subject.

• Die Zigaretten werden vorgedreht vor jedem Raststätten-Halt

  ➔ Passive voice (werden + past participle)

  ➔ "werden vorgedreht" is the passive form of "vordrehen" (to pre-roll). The subject "Die Zigaretten" (the cigarettes) is receiving the action, not performing it.

• Schön, dass ihr da seid, wurde auch Zeit

  ➔ "dass" clause (subordinate clause)

  ➔ "dass ihr da seid" is a subordinate clause introduced by "dass" (that). It functions as the subject complement to the adjective "schön" (nice).

• Wo ward ihr gestern?

  ➔ Past tense form of "sein" (to be) - archaic

  ➔ "ward" is an older, less common form of the past tense of the verb "sein" (to be). The more common form would be "wart".

• Dahinten lang sind die Garderoben

  ➔ Inverted word order due to adverbial start.

  ➔ Normally, the sentence would be "Die Garderoben sind dahinten lang". However, starting the sentence with the adverbial phrase "Dahinten lang" (that way back there) causes the subject and verb to invert.

• Wenn ihr Fragen habt, fragt mich

  ➔ Conditional sentence (type 0 or 1)

  ➔ This is a conditional sentence. The "wenn" clause (if you have questions) expresses the condition, and the main clause (ask me) expresses the consequence. In this context, it is most likely a Type 1 conditional, referring to a possible future situation.

• Bevor ich es vergesse, im ganzen Haus herrscht Rauchverbot

  ➔ Word order after a conjunctional adverbial phrase

  ➔ After the phrase "Bevor ich es vergesse" (before I forget), which acts as a conjunctional adverbial, the verb "herrscht" comes before the subject "Rauchverbot". This is due to the initial adverbial element occupying the first position in the sentence.
