German Clauses

German Side Sentence Rules
As a short note, it should be noted that the main sentence is separated from the main sentence by using commas.
Basic sentence at the beginning
If the main sentence is at the beginning, a comma is put before the subsequent clause. The order of the basic sentence is the same, while the conjugated verb is located at the end of the sentence.
Ich komme nicht zu dir, weil es regnet. / I am not coming to you because it is raining.
The Subordinate Sentence Being At The First
In such a case, the first clause comes first, the basic sentence starts after the comma. While establishing the basic sentence, the verb that is conjugated first is found.
Weil er sub ist, bleibt zu Hause. / He stays at home because he is old.
Having Separable Verbs
In such cases, the clause and basic sentence rules mentioned above apply in the same way and the conjugated verb goes to the end of the sentence as in the basic sentence.

Multiple Verbs
It is seen that auxiliary verbs can be more than one when the sentence is made about the past tense or the future tense. In such a case, the rule to be followed will be that the verb conjugated goes to the end of the sentence.
Bevor du kommst, mustst du mir versprechen. / Before you come, you have to promise me.
