Questions & Answers about Es gibt hier keine Fehler, denn das Material wird gut kontrolliert.
Where are the two parts of the passive voice placed in the second clause?
The conjugated helper verb wird goes in the standard second position, right after the subject (das Material). The past participle kontrolliert gets pushed to the very end of the sentence. This combination of werden and a past participle forms the present passive.
Since denn means 'because', why isn't the verb wird pushed to the end of the sentence?
The word denn is a coordinating conjunction, which means it occupies 'position 0' and does not change the standard word order. If the sentence used weil (which also means 'because'), the conjugated verb would be kicked to the end: ... weil das Material gut kontrolliert wird.
Why is the word kontrolliert translated as 'inspected' instead of 'controlled'?
The German verb kontrollieren is a classic false friend. While it looks exactly like the English word 'control', it usually means 'to check', 'to inspect', or 'to monitor' instead of exerting power over something.
