Then follow the same procedure as above: “the” + “students” + (who are) “loving” + “the literature” Example: In für Strahlen undurchlässigen Stoffen wurde kein solches Molekül gefunden. If you come across two prepositions together (In für), then separate off the internal prepositional phrase (für Strahlen), as well as any remaining words (undurchlässigen). Then follow the same procedure as above: “in” + “substances” + “impermeable” + “for rays” You can practice your analysis of some of this unit’s examples by playing the Unit 13 Syntax Untangler activity. (Link opens in a new window.) Unit: 13: Extended adjective constructions 5. Further Advice Regarding Extended Adjective Constructions Despite its length, an extended adjective construction is no different from a regular adjective: it appears before a noun and has the appropriate adjectival ending. If it appears in a series of adjectives then it will usually be separated from other adjectives (or extended adjective constructions!) by a comma: ein in Stuttgart gebautes, deutsches Auto a German car built in Stuttgart das in Frankfurt stehende, von dem berühmten Architekten entworfene Gebäude the building which was designed by the famous architect and is situated in Frankfurt Occasionally an extended adjective construction will appear within another extended adjective: das von dem in Frankfurt wohnenden Architekten entworfene Gebäude the building designed by the architect who lives in Frankfurt

Architekten entworfene Gebäude. The inner construction modifes Architekten: dem in Frankfurt wohnenden Architekten. Then we begin to translate in the following order: das Gebäude entworfene von dem Architekten wohnenden in Frankfurt the + building + designed + by the architect + living + in Frankfurt In other words we do not read in a straight line but rather we move from beginning to end and then backwards, quite the opposite of what we would do in English. And when these constructions are nested inside each other, we read from the outermost to the innermost. Although you may find these constructions frustrating at first, as you gain comfort via practice, you will come to appreciate how efficiently they allow complex relationships to be communicated. Unit: 14: Subjunctive I 1. Objectives In this unit you will learn how to: Identify and translate the subjunctive I verbal mood. Unit: 14: Subjunctive I 2. Subjunctive Mood Up to this point we have dealt with sentences in the indicative mood, which is the verb mood used to communicate facts. Now we introduce the subjunctive mood of verbs, which signals hypothetical or contingent actions. In German it is also used in indirect discourse (reported speech), to reflect what someone thinks or feels about something, and in conditional sentences (i.e., “if . . . then” sentences). German has two forms of the subjunctive: Subjunctive I, which this unit covers and which relates to indirect discourse and some special uses; and Subjunctive II, which deals with conditional sentences and which is covered in Unit 15.
