It's unbelievable, I have seen more than 12 videos and the explanation of my teacher, but this it's the best explanation of this verb in all internet. Thank you so much for your help. This verb is complicated and it´s not easy to gasp all his form, specially in reflexive

That was great! Do you teach high school German (or higher)?

@HerrFerguson Жыл бұрын

Danke! 😄 I teach at a secondary school (in the UK) which is a comparable age group to that of a high school, though I also work with younger pupils. I generally work with those aged between 8 and 18 years.

Sind diese Sätze richtig ? und sagen Sie mir ob ich es und das in beiden Bespielen in der richtigen Stelle gelegt habe. Wenn ja könnten Sie mir sagen warum das pronomen es vor dem reflexive pronomen sich sein muss wie im ersten Beispiel und warum das reflexive pronomen sich nach " das " sein muss wie im zweiten Beispiel Danke im voraus . 1)Mit deinem Hintergrund lässt es sich einfach machen. 2) Mit deinem Hintergrund lässt sich das einfach machen.

Hi , I hate it to disturb you with constant questions. I only comment when im stuck in lerning and i want to know if it is ok? To get to the topic... The question is i know about the rule TIME MANNER PLACE but where does the person reciving the object go like in the sentance Kaufst du einen schal fur die giraffe Can you say kaufst du die giraffe einen schal? Or does giraffe need to be at the end. I hope you understand my question , it is hard to phrase out and english is my second language so it just makes it harder.... Thank you for your time and effort i really deply appriciate it.

Hallo! It’s a good question. Technically, you can do either of your options, and people would understand (as long as the indirect object (the recipient) is in the DATIVE case, so here: der Giraffe) but typically you’d put the recipient as close to the main verb as possible: „Kaufst du der Giraffe einen Schal?“

Hello Mr Ferguson I have a doubt. When we use sich lassen +infinitiv For example Das Fenster lässt sich offnen Is this construction same as Es lässt sich + infinitiv For example Es lässt sich nicht leugnen. Or is the usage Es lasst sich , a fixed construction like es gibt? Can you please make it clear to me . Thank you E

@HerrFerguson 3 ай бұрын

Hallo! In a way, yes. You can think of ‘es lässt sich’ as ‘it can be’ if that’s helpful. I.e. the window can be opened ‘Das Fenster lässt sich öffnen’ it can not be denied ‘Es lässt sich nicht leugnen’

@annathommen5985 3 ай бұрын

My doubt is unlike Es gibt which does not change, the usage Es lässt sich dh im allgemeinenSinn, es can be replaced by das . In this case can you please tell me When es and das is used to express something in General and the positioning of es and das in this case. Thank you

@HerrFerguson 2 ай бұрын

Yes, afraid so! ‘Es gibt‘ is a set phrase which won’t change. ‘Es lässt sich’ can mean ‘it allows itself’ I.e. it can… It would therefore be ‘das lässt sich’ if you need to say ‘that allows itself’ or ‘that can…’ ‘Der Himmel ist blau’ ‘Ja, das lässt sich nicht leugnen’ (The sky is blue) (Yes, that cannot be denied) Es gibt zwei Fenster und sie lassen sich nicht öffnen (There are two windows and they cannot be opened) I hope that helps?
