Some of the pronunciations are really getting to me lol.

Just think about this word — akzeptierst. This is the informal you form of the word akzeptieren, which means to accept. Now, the z is supposed to be pronounced like a tee-es, which probably tells you how many unique sounds are there in this one. Need to revisit the last couple, or maybe even 3 lessons, again. The value system part I’ve learned well, but I definitely need some practice with all these new verbs and vocabulary that have been introduced since Lesson 14

Not all verbs change when the informal you is used

Today, I made a familiar mistake again. The sentence in question was this:

You must make it tomorrow

This is my translation: du musst morgen es machst

and the correct translation: du musst es morgen machen

There are two mistakes here! One of them is relatively minor, but the other one I need to remember well:

• I thought when we’re using the informal you, all of the verbs in the sentence need to change to their st form, but that’s not the right way to think about it. Only the verb connected to the informal you must be changed, which in this case is mussen (to must), which becomes musst. The verb for to make (machen) remains as it is.

• I still don’t know why the time expression came after the “it”, but if I had to intuit, I would say that the most important words in this sentence are the fact that the “it” must be made tomorrow, which is why tomorrow (morgen) comes after the it (es). I confirmed this with gemini and it told me something I either didn’t know or may have forgotten — personal pronouns like i, we, you always come before the time expression, even while keeping the rules of the value system in mind. If it was a sentence like “You must make the cake tomorrow” with something specific like “the cake”, it would’ve come after the time expression, with the correct translation being:

  Du musst morgen den Kuchen machen
