German sentence structure

German sentence structure is the structure to which the German language adheres. The basic sentence in German follows SVO word order. Additionally, German, like all west Germanic languages except English, uses V2 word order, though only in independent clauses. In dependent clauses, the finite verb is placed last (subject–object–verb word order).
