Big idea: Verb‑second (V2) + separable verbs: V2 in action

In German main clauses, the conjugated verb is the 2nd element — even when you start with time/place.

V2 in action

These two sentences are both correct — notice the verb stays 2nd.

Ich gehe heute nach Hause.

I go home today.

Heute gehe ich nach Hause.

Today I go home.
