das Verantwortungsbewusstsein

= and there it is. One long word meaning “sense of responsibility”

I have a test….finally. Something to put fire under my rear and test my ability. Hard to do, when I keep moving between classes and the students come and go like fruitflies. The theme, Relative Clauses: two related ideas combined usually by relative pronouns: ‘that’, ‘which’, ‘whose’, any others? Easy, right?

In german, it’s a little bit, um, difficult. The relative pronoun possibilities include, “der, die, das, den, dem, denen, dessen, deren, wer, wen, wem, wessen, was, and wo- and/or about 20 different prepositions.” God help me. If you don’t understand this grammatic structure, chances are you won’t understand what/who is the subject and object(s) of the sentence.
