Hi, I'm an English speaker (American) trying to learn German with the goal of passing the TestDaF at the end of this year. I'm doing quite a bit of self study and have several friends in Germany to converse with, but I'm looking for a qualified instructor to work with as well.

    When I grow up I want to be a civil engineer so that I can help many people.

     

    The first shows two things the child wants to do (become a civil engineer and help people), the second says that the child wants to become a civil engineer because ("so that") she could help people (gives a reason for wanting that job)

    It means "you wouldn't know that", but it's kind of a rude way of saying it

    They have the same meaning, but the first one is the best way to say it. The second sentence ends with a preposition, which is usually avoided if the sentence can carry the same meaning without it.

    adjectives describe the attributes/characteristics of the noun, determiners indicate which specific thing you are talking about example: book is a noun I can tell you more about the book by using adjectives - large book, black book, boring book I can specify which book I'm talking about with determiners - my book, this book, every book I can tell you more about a specific book by using both: This book is large. Hopefully that helps?
