German grammar
German Modal Verbs
German modal verbs such as können, müssen, and wollen combine with an infinitive at the end of the clause.
Examples
Ich kann Deutsch lernen.
I can learn German.
lernen moves to the end.
Wir müssen warten.
We have to wait.
The modal verb takes position two.
Lara will Kaffee trinken.
Lara wants to drink coffee.
The action verb stays infinitive.
Common mistake
Forgetting that modal verbs push the second verb to the end.
