Negative Clauses with "dass"
- Negative clauses with "dass" place "nicht" before the subordinate clause.
- For example, "Ich glaube nicht, dass morgen die Sonne scheint" (I don't believe that the sun will shine tomorrow).
No Subjunctive
- German, unlike some Romance languages, doesn't require the subjunctive mood in these subordinate clauses.
- This simplifies the grammar for learners.
Sensory Verbs and "dass"
- Sensory verbs like "sehen" (to see), "hören" (to hear), and "fühlen" (to feel) can also use the "dass" structure.
- The conjugated verb goes to the end of the subordinate clause.
