Sentences Structures:
Sentences with a subject, object and one verb: the subject
(S) of the sentence comes first followed by the verb (V) and the
object (O) at the end. S->V->O!
-Adverbs are normally placed next the words they are referring to.
There are 3 types of adverbs, TIME adverbs, MANNER adverbs and
PLACE adverbs. Adverbs of TIME often go at the beginning of the
sentence, although this is not a definitive rule. Adverbs of
MANNER comment on verbs so it is most common for these to
come directly after the verb. Adverbs of PLACE often come first in
the sentence when you wish to emphasize something.

Chapter 6:

German Culture:

Soccer, or Fuball, is the nations most popular sport by

far. Skiing is common due to its location- near the Alps. Germany is very organic/all
natural when it comes to food and most things in general. In other words its a very
green nation. Beer plays a huge role in Germanys society. Oktoberfest is held in
Germany. Many excellent car names are from the country including BMW, Porsche,
Audi, Volkswagen, and more. Science and technology are some major attributes of
the country. Germany is not relatively close to how it used to be during WWI and
WWII and strives to distance itself from that part of its history. Education is seen as
very important, and Germanys economy is very strong due to the intelligent,
innovative people from the nation. Christianity is the most commonly practiced
religion. Germany has established a high level of gender equality, promotes
disability rights, and is legally and socially tolerant towards homosexuals. Gays and
lesbians can legally adopt their partner's biological children, and civil unions have
been permitted since 2001. Germany has also changed its attitude towards
immigrants; since the mid-1990s, the government and the majority of Germans
have begun to acknowledge that controlled immigration should be allowed based on
qualification standards.

25 Facts:
1. Soccer/ Fuball is most popular sport
2. Christianity is most commonly practiced religion
3. Excellent car manufacturing. BMW, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, and
Volkswagen are some of the prominent automobiles produced within
the nation
4. The nation itself is known for being very green and organic. Most
goods are natural within the country
5. Beer is vital to the nations society. Germany is internationally known
for its great beer
6. Oktoberfest- the largest festival in the world is held in Germany which
demonstrates how important beer is to Germany
7. Germany tries its best to not affiliate itself with its acts made during
WWI and WWII. Tries to forget about that part of its past
8. Very nationalistic. Most all Germans show lots of pride in their nation
9. Through the years, Germany has begun to not isolate itself from the
rest of the world. Although theyre still not that open to other
cultures, they still are more than before. They are like this because
they have a very strong, and well-working nation so therefore try to not
let other cultures influence them and essentially corrupt them
10.
Classical music has been widely dominated by German-speaking
composers. A few famous ones born on the present territory of
Germany include Bach, Hndel, Beethoven, Schumann, Mendelssohn,
Brahms, Wagner and R. Strauss
11.
There are 1,300 beer breweries in Germany, making some 5,000
kinds of beer. German people are the world's second biggest beer
drinkers after the Czechs

12.
Germany is one of the last Western European countries not to
have banned smoking in workplaces, and restaurants. One of the
political reason for this is that the Nazi officially frowned on smoking,
and post-war German legislators have been afraid of imitating Nazi
regulations
13.
The German Autobahn is the oldest motorway network in the
world (first section completed in 1932), as well as one of the densest. It
is also the only one in Europe to have no general speed limit

registered zoos. Berlin's Zoologischer Garten is the largest zoo in the
world, both in terms of number of species (1,500) and animal
population (14,000)
17.
Germany is the most populous European country (apart from
Russia), with a population of 82 million
18.
Most people dont drive vehicles in Germany. Instead, they walk
or ride bikes and on occasion ride on mopeds. Vehicles are seen as
unnecessary when trying to travel within town limits. Cars are primarily
used when traveling somewhere distant
19.
Drinking policies/laws are flipped with the US. You can drink at
the age of 16, but drive at the age of 21
20.
Germans tend to listen to English and American bands and
artists because music in Germany isnt very good, and there arent
many bands or singers in existence
21.
When an English-speaking exchange student travels to Germany,
many Germans will love talking in English with you rather than
German because they are so keen on testing their English
22.
Most of the buildings in Berlin are modern due to the old
buildings being destroyed during WWII
