Kausalsatz Glossary of terms

A Kausalsatz is a subordinate clause that indicates the motive or cause of the action expressed in the main clause.

Detailed Explanation

Kausalsätze are commonly introduced with conjunctions such as weil (because), da (since), or denn (for/because). These clauses can appear before or after the main clause, affecting the word order.

When using 'weil' or 'da', the conjugated verb is placed at the end of the subordinate clause. With 'denn', the sentence structure is the same as that of a main clause.
