Table of coordinating conjunction in the German language
Coordinating conjunctions are used to connect independent clauses. Thereby they don't affect the word order (structured as typical main clauses) and are generally separated by a comma from each other.
| German | English |
|---|---|
| aber | but, however |
| denn | because |
| oder | or |
| sondern | on the contrary |
| und | and |
- Sie isst Huhn, denn sie mag den Geschmack gerne. - She eats chicken, because she likes the taste
- Wir legen den Koffer auf den Wagen, aber wir tragen die Tasche. - We put the bag on the trolley, but we carry the bag
No comma is necessary before “und“ or “oder“.
Interrogatives and adverbs as conjunctions in German (table of subconjunctions)
Theses conjunctions can function as subordinate conjunctions. Therefore, they introduce dependent clauses (subordinate clauses). A dependent clause is not a complete sentence and cannot stand alone. The finite verb is placed at the end of the sentence (subjunction + subject + … + finite verb).
| German | English |
|---|---|
| als | when |
| bevor | before |
| da | since, as |
| bis | until |
| damit | so that |
| dass | that |
| nachdem | after |
| ob | whether |
| obwohl | although |
| seit | since |
- Sag mir, warum du nicht gerne isst. - Tell me, why don't you like to eat?
- Ich arbeite, bis ich müde werde. - I work until I get tired
Table of compound conjunctions in German
Compound conjunctions build out of two words. The clauses begin with the first part of the compound conjunctions. The second part introduces the other sentence (whether dependent or independent).
| German | English |
|---|---|
| anstatt ... zu | instead of |
| entweder ... oder | either ... or |
| weder noch | neither .. nor |
| sowohl ... als auch | as well as |
| sowohl ... wie auch | as well as |
- Entweder du gehst mit oder du bleibst zu Hause. - Either you come with or you stay at home
- Sowohl mag ich Bananen, als auch Äpfel. - I like bananas, as well as apples
Now that you have finished the lesson about conjunction, you should be able to form dependent clauses and connect two main clauses with a proper conjunction. Test your skills with our exercises.

Hi! I am Maaike, a Dutch primary school teacher. Every day I'm doing by best to teach the Dutch language well to the childeren, but also other languages such as English and Spanish.
I have more than 12 years of experience as a teacher, in the Netherlands and abroad, to young and old!
In the Netherlands I have experience in each grade, so I know exactly how the Dutch language is given in primary education. This can certainly help children, but also adults who want to learn the Dutch language in a correct way, having a good basic knowledge is the most important part of learning a new language.
I lived in Spain for 3 years where I taught English to Spanish children and adults. During that period I also followed an intensive language course to learn the Spanish language. Currently I am learning Nepali through Skype. I know what it is like to learn a new language, what it involves and how the learning process works.
I will first discuss with you what you would like to achieve by following the language lessons and what your needs are. Maybe it's just speaking skills, or grammar or listening skills, or a combination. In addition, I want to use my creativity to apply methods that work best for you, personalized language classes. :)
My goal is to give you the feeling after each class that you've come one step closer to your personal goal!
Feel free to request a trial class, so we can see what I can do for you and if my way of teaching suits you. See you soon! :)
M. R.
The best language teacher my daughter has had! She is a kind and friendly teacher. I feel like she keeps the lesson pace going and focused. Highly recommend Maaike. :-)

Hi, everyone! I'm Marissa. I'm a native speaker of English from the United States. I'm currently living in Istanbul, Turkey and I can speak Turkish. I can also understand basic Spanish. I received my teaching certification in 2011 and I've been teaching ever since. I have experience working with students from all over the world, in language schools, kindergarten, exam preparation centers, and online, not only as a teacher but also as an education coordinator.
I offer my students a very structured program to help them improve their overall English level. In our trial lesson, I will evaluate your level and we will discuss your goals. I will then provide you with a coursebook and supplementary materials suitable for your level and needs. We will use these both together in class and outside of class for homework. We will cover all necessary skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation) but we will give special attention to whatever your weaknesses may be.
Alternatively, if you are not looking for such an intensive program, I also offer guided conversation practice. I am flexible! Just write me and we can start working on a plan for you. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon. :)

Marissa is a very friendly teacher. She adapts her lessons to her students and helps them reach their goals.

Hello =)
My name is Karolin and since the beginning of 2017, while I was still living in Chile, I've been giving online classes. I really enjoy my work and it gives me the privilage to get to know people from all around the world, which is amazing.
Both in English and in German, I teach classes for beginners and advanced students. I speak Spanish fluently, but as I lived in Chile for around 5 years, both my pronounciation and my choice of words are influenced by that. I learned and teach the european Spanish but only for beginners (A1/A2). But if you don't mind the chilenean influence, I do teach to a higher level as well.
If you'd like to get to know me and my teaching methods, just contact me and we will do a free trial lesson (please do NOT by a lesson before the trial lesson, not every teacher is good for every student).
See you soon!
B. A.
Karolin is very competent, she has a very good way of teaching and simplifying complicated rules, she's also organized and punctual. Highly recommended for whoever wants to learn German!

Hello everyone and a big warm welcome to all the fellow language learners,
My name is Katerina, I’m a native Russian speaker and a foreign language teacher from St Petersburg, Russia. I’ve always been addicted to learning foreign languages, be it English, German, Spanish, Turkish or Arabic, so turning my passion into my job was just a matter of time. I have a Master’s degree in linguistics which taught me to understand the way the mechanism of a language works and thus to help my students see the logics behind the grammar rules. Being a constant language learner enables me to see the process from both sides and to predict the difficulties my students might face. The fact that I’m not a native speaker of English or German means I’ve been through exactly the same language-learning journey you’re about to take, and thanks to my personal experience as a student, I can make this road smooth for you.
I've had students of all ages, from pre-school kids to senior generation, and I feel comfortable working with both beginners and those who are eager to take their learning process to a new level. In my classes I encourage you to talk in the language we’re studying as much as possible, putting every single bit of knowledge into practice right away. If you’re a Russian-learner, I’d be glad to prove it to you that you can absolutely nail my mother-tongue - and yes, you’ll be able to make a small talk in Russian by the end of the first class even if you’re an absolute beginner! We’ll be focusing on the topics that are most relevant to your goals, while discovering the language and getting to know more about the culture of people who speak it.
I offer a short free trial class, for us to give each other a smile and discuss our teaching pattern, in order to ajust it to your goals and make our lessons the bee's knees :) See you soon!
M. G.
Katja is a great teacher! She really pushes her students to speak in as much German as they can and the materials she provides are perfectly suited for her students learning goals!

Maybe it's just speaking skills, or grammar or listening skills, or a combination. In addition, I want to use my creativity to apply methods that work best for you, personalized language classes. :)
My goal is to give you the feeling after each class that you've come one step closer to your personal goal!
Feel free to request a trial class, so we can see what I can do for you and if my way of teaching suits you. See you soon! :)

The best language teacher my daughter has had! She is a kind and friendly teacher. I feel like she keeps the lesson pace going and focused. Highly recommend Maaike. :-)
