Questions & Answers about Die Fans werden laut und nervös.
Why is werden translated as "are getting" here instead of "will"?
As a main verb, werden means "to become" or "to get" (like getting loud). It is only used to mean "will" for the future tense when there is a second verb at the very end of the sentence. Since there are only adjectives here, it just means the fans are becoming loud.
Why don't the adjectives laut and nervös have endings like laute or nervöse?
Adjectives only take endings in German when they come directly before a noun. Because laut and nervös come after the verb to describe the fans, they stay in their base dictionary form without any extra letters.
How does the plural work for the word Fans?
Der Fan is a loanword borrowed directly from English. Like many other English words adopted into German, it forms its plural by simply adding an -s instead of using a traditional German plural ending like -en or -er.
