Subordinate clauses with weil and dass
A2
Ich bleibe zu Hause, weil ich krank bin. Ich hoffe, dass du heute kommst. With weil you give reasons, with dass you report what someone says or thinks. You learn subordinate-clause word order, where the verb moves to the end — a big step towards more complex sentences.
