2 KONNECTOREN ( ZWEITEILITE )
RELATIV SAETZE( RELATIVE PRONOUN)
Relative sentences provide additional information about a person or thing in an another sentence.
They start with a relative pronoun . they are subordinate clauses that is why verb goes always in
the end.

In english(examples in nominative)

2. Did you see my car, which is brand new.

3. The man who is standing there is very old.

The second underlined words give more information about first underlined word.

Relativesaetze are always connected with a word called relative pronoun. In the above
examples who, which are these relative pronouns

Beispiel

(i have a dog. The dog is always hungry.)

Ich habe einen Hund, der Hund immer Hunger hat.

-if the noun “einen Hund” is coming again in another line in nominativ position, then i do not need
to repeat the word again. I only writes the article ot that noun.

- the verb will go in the end conjugated.

2.Herr Schmidt ist leider krank . Er ist unser Mathelehrer.
(unfortunately, Mr. Schmidt is ill. He is our math teacher)

Als relativsaetze schreiben,

Herr Schmidt, der unser Mathelehrer ist ,ist leider krank.

(Mr Schmidt who is out maths teacher is ill)

(in a relative sentence we do not need to write the name again, the noun will only
replaced by its own article in definite case in the next sentence.)
The article of Herr Schmidt is “der”.

In nominative case the personal pronoun gives the answer of WHO.

For example : who is ill?
Ans : The maths teacher, Herr Schmidt.
 Beispiel

Relativpronomen Akkusativ

GENDER ARTIKEL(DEF)
Maskuline den
Feminin die
Neutrum das
Plural die
Beispiel 1(in maskulin)
Das ist der Mann . Ich kenne ihn gut.
(this is the man. I know him well)
Das ist der Mann, den ich gut kenne.
(this is the man whom i know well)
The subject “ ich “ is already given in the second clause so it is clear that only
akkusativ object is missing.
In the first sentence ihn replace akkusative
object in the second clause, which is already
mentioned in the first clause “der Mann”.
The object is maskuline so it takes the
maskuline definite article in second sentence.
When we mixed the above two sentences,
we do not need to repeat the pronoun with
“ihn”.We have to replace it with the definite
article of the noun in the akkusative case.
Beispiel 2 feminin
Lisa hat eine Jacke. Anton hasst die Jacke.
(Lisa has a jacket . Anton hates the jacket)
Lisa hat eine Jacke,die Anton hasst.
(Lisa has a jacket which Anton hates)
Cluse 1 , noun is eine Jacke.
Clause2 , die Jacke is repeated.
But if we mixed these two clauses we can not
repeat one noun twice.
Clause1 die Jacke is used
In clause 2 we only used the article of
jacke and send the verb in the end.
As in second clause the “die Jacke”was
in akkusative place so we place the
article according to accusative case.
ZWEITEILIGE KONNEKTOREN
Zweiteilige connectors are two parts conjunctions which are mainly used to connect two
main (independent ) clauses or two parts of a sentence.Example- not only..but also,
neither …nor , either …or etc. Today we mainly discuss two important connectors in
detail given below.

1 Wie haben nicht nur alles abgewaschen, sondern auch die Kueche aufgeraeumt.
(not only die we wash everything away, but we also cleaned up the kitchen)

2.Ich interessiere mich sowohl fuer Physik als auch fuer Chemie.
(I am interested in both physics and chemistry)
 List of zweitelige konnectoren with meaning

We will be discussing the first two connectors today
1. Nicht nur… sondern auch

In this case “nicht nur” always lies together ,”sondern auch” are saperable.

Ex- Sie trinkt nicht nur Kaffee, sondern (sie) auch ein Sandwich.
(She is not only drinking coffee, but also eating a sandwich.)

-We use this connector when we express two situations. When we repeat subject or verb in the second sentence, we
can remove that. The position of verb will not be affected in this case.

-There will be a comma(,) before the second part of conjunction starts.The above sentence can also be written as;

Ex- Sie trinkt nicht nur Kaffee, sondern auch ein Sandwich
BEISPIELE
Beispiel:

Selma is not only good in mathematics but she is also interested in technology.

Unser Lehrer spricht nicht nur Englisch sondern auch Französisch.

Our teacher doesn't just speak English, but French too.

Dieses Material ist nicht nur wasserdicht sondern auch wetterdicht.

This material is not only waterproof but also water- and wind-repellant.
So wohl..als auch- both…and…
This is the second most used conjunction.We use this conjunction when we express two
situations, exactly as “nicht nur…sondern auch”.In this situation there will no comma for “als
…auch”.
For example;
Sie hat mir sowohl einen Kuchen Gebacken als auch
eine Suppe zubereiten.
