Try a question
From “Describing yourself: the present tense and verb-second order”.
Questions are in German, like the exam. Every answer comes with an explanation.
Welcher Satz hat nach einer Zeitangabe die richtige Wortstellung?
Show the answer
D. Am Wochenende treffe ich meine Freunde
The time phrase takes the first position, so the verb comes second and the subject follows it: Am Wochenende treffe ich… "At the weekend I meet…".
