Ich suche ein Brautkleid aus. (I choose a wedding dress)

Man wä​hlt die Kirche aus. (You choose the church)

1. What do you notice about these sentences?

2. What is the word order?​

Meine perfekte Hochzeit

Ich lade die Gäste ein. (I invite the guests)

​

1. These are called separable verbs. They are made up of a verb and a preposition.

2. The verb goes in second place, and the preposition goes to the end.​

Meine perfekte Hochzeit

einladen means to invite

But when we use it in a sentence, we need to separate the two parts of the verb.

Ich lade die Gä​ste ein

Meine perfekte Hochzeit

We also have verbs like this in English

e.g. abholen means to pick up

Ich hole die Eheringe ab

I pick the wedding rings up

Meine perfekte Hochzeit

Some verbs are separable in both English and German

E.g. abholen - to pick up

E.g. einladen - to invite
