The verb in a clause that begins with a subordinating conjunction always moves to the end. The other parts of the clause keep their positions.
No conjunction: | Ich will den Job haben. | Ich brauche Geld. | ||||
Coordinating conjunction: | Ich will den Job haben | und | ich brauche Geld. | |||
Independent and subordinate clauses: | Ich will den Job haben, | weil | ich Geld brauche. |
The short form: Clauses that begin with a subordinating conjunction can sometimes stand on their own in spoken language. But that only works in situations in which the context is clear: Question: Warum wollen Sie den Job haben? |
More:
If a subordinate clause that begins with a subordinating conjunction has not only a conjugated verb, but also another (unconjugated) verb form, such as the infinitive or a participle, then this second verb form precedes the conjugated verb in the second-to-last position.
Perfect tense with helping verb and participle:
Example:
Harry stinkt. Er hat sich lange nicht gewaschen.
Harry stinkt, weil er sich lange nicht gewaschen hat.
Modal verb plus the infinitive:
Example:
Harry bekommt den Job. Er will kein Geld haben.
Harry bekommt den Job, weil er kein Geld haben will.
For separable verbs, the prefix stays attached to the verb:
Example:
Sie freut sich. Ich komme morgen wieder.
Sie freut sich, weil ich morgen wiederkomme.
