Statements

In statements, the conjugated verb always constitutes the second component of the sentence.

  1. The subject may precede it, as in English, or
  2. some other component which normally follows the verb may precede it, in which case the subject immediately follows the conjugated verb.

    1) Das Wetter ist heute kalt.
    2) Heute ist     das Wetter kalt.    		 The weather is cold today.
    Today the weather is cold.
