Usage tips
Expressing a perspective
The phrase „grammatisch gesehen“ (grammatically speaking) limits a statement to grammar. This expression can appear at the beginning of a sentence; the conjugated verb then follows directly afterward.
EXAMPLE
Grammatisch gesehen ist der Text richtig, aber sein Inhalt ist schwer verständlich.
Grammatically speaking, the text is correct, but its content is difficult to understand.
Assessing correctness
When assessing sentences and formulations, „grammatisch“ (grammatical) is often combined with „korrekt“ (correct), „richtig“ (right), or „falsch“ (wrong). „Grammatisch“ remains unchanged because it modifies the following adjective.
EXAMPLE
Die Lehrerin hat alle grammatisch falschen Sätze im Aufsatz markiert.
The teacher marked all the grammatically incorrect sentences in the essay.
Typical collocations
When learning about and describing a language, you will often encounter the phrases „grammatische Regeln“ (grammatical rules), „grammatische Strukturen“ (grammatical structures), and „grammatische Formen“ (grammatical forms). They are especially common in textbooks and language classes.
EXAMPLE
In diesem Kapitel üben wir die grammatischen Strukturen, die man für Nebensätze braucht.
In this chapter, we are practicing the grammatical structures needed for subordinate clauses.
