In German, some verbs can be split into two parts. These are called separable verbs. They consist of a prefix and a main verb stem. In a simple sentence, the verb stem is conjugated and placed in the second position, while the prefix moves to the very end.
Lesson#2
Let's take the verb 'anrufen', which means 'to call'. The prefix is 'an'. To say 'I am calling my friend', you would say 'Ich rufe meinen Freund an'. Notice how 'rufe' is in the second position and 'an' is at the end. This word order is a key feature of German grammar.
Lesson#3
Let's start with a common separable verb for daily routines: 'aufstehen'. This means 'to get up'. The prefix is 'auf'.
