Subordinate clauses in the German language, also known as „Nebensätze,“ follow specific rules and structures.

Conjunctions

Subordinate clauses often begin with subordinating conjunctions (Subordinierende Konjunktionen) that introduce the clause. Common examples include „dass“ (that), „weil“ (because), „wenn“ (if/when), „obwohl“ (although), „damit“ (so that), and „ob“ (whether/if).
