I think Jian referred to the question of why the conjugation in German does not follow the same pattern as in the English sentence. It’s not about word order (but, at first, I also understood the question the same way you did).

Both sentences are correct. „Ans“ is just the Short Form (contraction) of „an das“.

The first sentence (1) is definitely correct: „They will follow you like sheep“. In a direct comparison we use „like“ to say that two things are alike/similar. They, the people, act in a similar way as sheep would do. The second sentence (2) does not express a comparison between sheep and people/„they“. It means something like people wear sheep costumes or are dressed up as sheep. To make this sentence a comparison like sentence 1, you would have to add a subordinate clause„They will follow you as sheep (would do)“.

This is because the (conjugated) verb is always the second idea in a sentence/it comes in second position. „Ich bin das“ - „Das bin ich“ - „Letztes Jahr bin ich das auf dem Foto gewesen.“ The second idea in all of these sentences (the second grammatical entity, not necessarily the second word) is the verb. The subject of the sentence is „Ich“, therefore we use „bin“. In English, „me“ is the object and „this“ (it) is the subject. That’s why we use „is“ and not „am“.

„Das Ausland“ refers to foreign countries (plural) in general. It means something like „abroad“. „Ich habe im Ausland gelebt.“ means „I have lived abroad (in a country or different countries that are not my home country).

This is a tough one, I have to admit.

Hi Liz! It is “threatened by poaching” not “with”. The phrasal verb / expression is “to be threatened BY someone/something”. Hope that helps.

The meaning is that everyone can drink coffee here AND that It is usual /normal for people to drink coffee here. So the most accurate translation in my opinion is: "You (in the sense of "one") can drink coffee here." "It is possible to drink coffee in this place." "können" = be able to, can "dürfen" = be allowed to If you want to say "You are allowed to drink coffee here."/"It is allowed to drink coffee here" you should use "dürfen"--> "Man darf hier Kaffee trinken."
