Questions & Answers about Das Horoskop wird viel Liebe vorhersagen.
Why is the verb vorhersagen at the very end of the sentence?
This sentence uses the future tense (Futur I). To form it, the helper verb werden (here conjugated as wird) takes the second position, and the main verb (vorhersagen) is pushed to the very end of the sentence in its infinitive (dictionary) form.
vorhersagen (to predict) is a separable verb. Why isn't the vor- prefix separated here?
Separable verbs only split when they are the conjugated verb in the sentence. Because the future tense uses wird as the conjugated helper verb, vorhersagen stays together in its full infinitive form at the very end.
Doesn't the verb werden usually mean "to become"?
It does! However, when werden is used with another verb in its infinitive form at the end of the sentence, it acts as a helper verb to build the future tense. In this setup, it translates to "will" instead of "become".
Why do we use viel instead of viele before Liebe?
We use the endingless word viel (much or a lot of) with singular, uncountable nouns like Liebe (love) or Geld (money). You would use viele (many) with plural, countable nouns like Tage (days).
