How to form sentences with "Um... zu" | Super Easy German (93)

Beschreibung:

"Um…zu" is a German construction that translates to "in order to". It is formed by a main clause and a subordinate clause that starts with "um" and ends with "zu + infinitive", as in "Janusz spielt Gitarre, um Geld zu verdienen." The construction requires the use of "um" and "zu"; it cannot be shortened as in English. Additionally, for separable verbs the "zu" is placed between the verb prefix and the stem, e.g., "Ich gehe in die Stadt um einzukaufen."
