Re: Sentence building using connectives
Hi...
Your effort is admirable...
But, it appears you are trying to fix a 'sentence construction problem' with grammar.
(And, that is something like; trying to open an door with your foot, instead of using your hand). : )
I mean that in a good way... I just want to point-out that it is 'a grammar tool' which you are attempting to apply to solve a problem; which is not related to grammar.
You should say something like this...
Before I would be-able to work in Germany, I need to study the German language. (This is more definitive).
or, I need to study the German language before I an able to work in Germany.
But hey, there's lots of ways to express the same idea with different words or sentence structures.
Let's look at the sentence logic:
<when> Before <who> I <when> would <what> be able to work <where> in Germany, <who> I <when> need <what> to study German. (More precisely; 'study the German language' could be at the end of this sentence).
I hope this helps... All the Best!
