Questions & Answers about Ich würde deine Bitte nie vergessen.
Why is vergessen at the very end of the sentence?
This sentence uses the hypothetical "would" form, which acts just like modal verbs such as können or müssen. The helper verb würde takes the second position, and the main verb (vergessen) gets pushed to the very end of the sentence in its basic dictionary form.
Where does the word würde come from?
würde is a special form of the verb werden (to become). When we use it to talk about hypothetical situations or make polite requests, it translates to "would" in English. You will almost always see it paired with an infinitive verb at the end of the sentence.
Why is it deine Bitte with an "-e" at the end?
The noun Bitte is feminine (die Bitte). Since it is the direct object of the sentence (the thing that would be forgotten), it is in the accusative case. For feminine nouns in the accusative, the possessive word dein (your) takes the ending -e, becoming deine.
Is the noun Bitte the same word as "please"?
They are very closely related! When capitalized as a noun, die Bitte means "the request" or "the favor". When written in lowercase, bitte is the everyday word meaning "please" or "you are welcome".
