Here you will find find a three-step analysis:
First, you will find the German sentence.
Second, you will find a word-by-word translation into English. As these translations would, in many cases, result in incorrect English, the single words are separated by hyphens. The reason for presenting the sentences in this way is to clarify German sentence structure so that you can easily understand how sentences are built in German.
Third, you will gin the correct and communicatively adequate English sentence (in italics).
