Ninety percent of German learners make exactly this one mistake.
I am standing at the bus stop and waiting for the bus.
Do you belong to that group too?
Then this video is exactly right for you.
Today I'm showing you some of the most common mistakes made by my German students.
and how you can form your sentences correctly instead.
Welcome to my channel, German with Nadine.
Let's begin with so-called preposition errors.
Many of these errors result from direct translation.
from English into German
I am standing at the bus stop and waiting for the bus.
I am waiting for the bus.
I am interested in sports.
I am interested in sports.
I am looking for a new car.

Many verbs in German require a fixed preposition.
That is why it is very important that you pay attention when learning the verbs
you directly learn the correct preposition and its corresponding case.
Do you answer the question "How are you?"
Really? Thanks, I'm good.
Then you are not alone.
But instead of talking about your condition,
Instead, tell that person how great you are.
Of course, I do not doubt that.
But it would be correct to say: Thank you, I'm doing well.
Wow, today it's over 30 degrees.
I'm so hot.
That can of course be.
But with such a response, you merely wish to emphasize,
how attractive you are, and not that the heat is getting to you.
It would be correct to say, "I am hot."
I think I'm going to get sick.
I am cold.
This sentence would mean that you don't show emotions.
and not that you're cold.
It would be correct to say, "I am cold."
Also, remember, if you want to talk about your emotions
and physical conditions, please use the dative case.
I'm doing well.
I feel sick.
I'm cold and so on.

The comparative, that is, the first degree of comparison of adjectives
is never formed in German with the word "more".
That is also a mistake,
that many German learners transfer from English into German.
The comparative, no matter how long the adjective is
is always formed in German with the suffix –er.
With some adjectives, you also need to pay attention to the comparative form.
to turn a vowel into a umlaut.
cold – colder, warm – warmer, big – bigger
Then, unfortunately, German also has irregular comparative and superlative forms,
the one you must memorize by heart.
Even in the superlative, the highest degree of comparison in German,
Errors occur frequently.
Paula is the best student.
Paula is the best student.
We have the fastest car.
We are driving the fastest car.
Coffee is the best hot drink.
Coffee is the best hot beverage.
We use it only with verbs and actions in connection with the superlative.
Paula learns best.
We are driving the fastest.
Coffee tastes best.
But when the superlative is placed before a noun, a person, or a thing,
Do we always use the definite article and the corresponding case?
Paula is the best student.
We are driving the fastest car.
Coffee is the best hot drink.
Speaking of adjectives, while we're on the subject,
Then, unfortunately, errors of this kind are also not uncommon.

in connection with the word as
Greater than,
