[NeverrShoutBrii]

the way I learned was the modal verb always has to be in second position. such as..

Nach der Shule spiele gern ich Volleyball.

Nach der Shule being first position... Spiele being the modal verb or action. Ich, i. Volleybally being a verb and gern. describing the spiele.

My German teacher said it doesn't matter the sentence order as long as the verb stems are correct, and the verb is ALWAYS in second position, followed is following the subject.

Germans a V2 language.VS or SV is a must. Correct?

[iknowchristalena]

@NeverrShoutBrii In easy sentences there is only one verb so yes VS or SV is correct, but in more complex sentences example Er hat sie nicht gehen lassen wollen. He didn't want to let her go. In this sentence the modal verb is at the end and the conjugated verb is still in the second position, there will always be a verb in the second position except for questions VS, and in subordinate clauses i.e. weil, dass, ob, wenn ect. See my video on syntax.

can someone explain what *nach* means thats been bugging me...

[iknowchristalena]

@johauHAU nach, used as a preposition means can mean "after" so nach 9 uhr, after 9 o'clock. ,or when i'm looking for something, ich suche nach meinem Rucksack, i'm looking "for" my bookbag, also used with fragen (ich frage nach dem Weg) or in a direction sense mostly for long distances Ich fliege nach Japan. (short distances use zu) (ich gehe zur Schule.) Or Ich springe nach oben. Except with "Ich gehe nach Hause" then that means I'm going home. and Ich bin zu Hause means I'm at home.

it's useful information but when you slap your hands together, it's hard to hear you. not trying to diss your video or your style but just trying to give you some constructive criticism.
