커뮤니티 튜터Bin ich instead of ich bin
Hallo,
could you please give to me other examples regarding when I must swap the order subject+verb, like this one.
Ich bin krank
Heute bin ich krank
in some complex sentences, I have some doubts, for instance:
the above ok, or: Ich bin krank, weil ich zu viel wein getrunken habe. OK
But for instance this:
Heute, bin ich krank, weil vielleicht gestern abend --------------------- zu viel wein getrunken habe
where should I put "ich" here?
and also, how is it called (in german) this grammar rule?
Danken

Your first example "Heute bin ich krank" vs. "Ich bin heute krank" is not about swapping subject and verb, it's about the fact that in German, in the main sentence, the verb (or its first part, the conjugated part) must always be in the 2nd position.
However, this "2nd position rule" does not hold true for conjunctions. There is an overview here:

Unfortunately, syntax is one of the most complicated parts of German grammar...
And BTW, in German, it's called Syntax or Satzbau or Wortstellung.

to be easy the verb always came in the second place
