Questions & Answers about Das nächste Jahr wird eine gute Veränderung bringen.
Why is bringen at the very end of the sentence?
In the German future tense, you use a form of werden (here, wird) in the second position of the sentence, and the main action verb goes at the very end in its dictionary form (infinitive). So it is literally 'The next year will a good change bring.'
Why is the future helping verb wird instead of werden?
wird is the 'he/she/it' form of the verb werden. Because the subject of the sentence is Das nächste Jahr (The next year), which acts as a singular 'it', we must use the matching form wird.
Why does nächste end in an -e instead of -es for the neuter noun Jahr?
Because the definite article das is already showing us the neuter gender, the adjective just needs a simple -e ending in the subject position (nominative case). If we dropped the das and just said 'Next year' on its own, it would be nächstes Jahr.
How do we know the gender of Veränderung just by looking at it?
Any German noun that ends in the suffix -ung is always feminine. Because it is feminine and acts as the direct object here, the adjective gute takes an -e ending after the word eine.
