Wenn die alte Frau dem Mädchen nicht geholfen hätte, wäre das Mädchen gestorben. e. Wenn ein neuer Freier kommt, wird das Mädchen ihn heiraten. When his daughter had grown up, the miller wanted to give her in marriage. The girl did not really like her fiancé and she did not trust him either. The girl was afraid, therefore she spread peas on the path. When a suitor came, the miller gave him his daughter as his wife. When the girl was still little, her mother died. Every time they met, the daughter was afraid. If the old woman hadn’t helped the girl, the girl would have died. If another suitor comes, the girl will marry him. Explanation There are three different kinds of conjunctions. 1. Subordinating conjunctions are followed by a dependent clause. 2. Coordinating conjunctions are followed by a main clause. The coordinating conjunction is in position 0. Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. 3. Adverbial conjunctions are also followed by a main clause, but the adverbial conjunction is in position 1. 4. The conjunction als is used for • actions in the past that occurred only once (Example a) • actions in the present that have occurred only once • time periods in the past (Example b). The conjunction wenn is used for • repeated actions in the past (Example c) • repeated actions in the present • conditional phrases (Example d) • actions that will happen in the future (Example e).
