There are, however, some conjunctions which do not cause the transposition of the Nominative, such as und, denn, aber, allein, da, and in general all those words which cause the verb to be placed at the end of the sentence. (§ 90.)

4. The Nominative is also placed after its verb, in a sentence which serves as complement to the one preceding it. Ex.:

Wenn er kommt, gehe ich fort. Wenn Sie es befehlen, so muß er es thun.

Je mehr ich trinke, desto durstiger bin ich.

Wenn die Einen gewinnen, so verlieren die Andern.

When he comes, I go away.
If you command, he must do it.

The more I drink, the more
thirsty I am.

When one party gains, the others lose.

5. The Nominative is placed after its verb, when the conditional particle wenn is suppressed. Ex.:

6. Interrogative sentences are formed without the help

of any auxiliary verb, by merely placing the verb before

its Nominative. Ex.:

7. The Nominative is placed not only after the verb, but also after the adverb and other words depending on the verb, if the sentence begins with the neuter personal pronoun es. Ex.:

Es kam gestern Iemand.

Somebody came yesterday.

Es ereignet sich nicht alle Tage eine Such an opportunity does not solche Gelegenheit.

happen every day.

certain words at the end

§87. The Germans place of the sentence, which are its key, and without which the sense would not be understood. These words are:

1. The attribute of the subject.

2. The adverb referring to the verb of the subject. 3. The preposition with its regimen or in its place the

relative particles daran, darum, &c.

4. The prepositions and separable particles with

which the verbs are compounded.

5. The Past Participle and the Infinitive.

6. Lastly the verb of the subject.

1) When the sentence begins with one of the conjunctions wenn, if; weil, because; obschon, although; daß, that; damit, in order that; bevor, che, before; als, da, when; während, while; nachdem, after; bis, until; 2) when the sentence begins with a relative pronoun; and 3) when it begins with an interrogative pronoun or adverb, provided that the interrogation be indirect.
