Questions & Answers about Die neuen Windräder werden bald transportiert werden.
Why are there two werdens in this sentence?
This sentence is in the future passive voice (Futur I Passiv). The first werden is the conjugated helping verb for the future tense (translating to 'will'). The second werden sits at the end of the sentence to form the passive voice along with the past participle transportiert. Together, transportiert werden means 'be transported', so the whole structure translates to 'will be transported'.
Why is transportiert placed right before the final werden?
When you have multiple verbs at the end of a standard German clause, the 'helping' infinitive (here, the passive werden) comes absolute last. The main action's past participle (transportiert) comes immediately before it. This creates the fixed block transportiert werden (to be transported) at the end of the sentence.
Why is the past participle transportiert and not getransportiert?
Verbs that end in -ieren, like transportieren, are an exception to the normal past participle rules. They never take the ge- prefix. You simply use the verb stem plus -t, giving us transportiert.
Why does neuen end in -en here?
It follows the rules of weak adjective declension. Die Windräder is plural, and because we already have the definite article Die showing us the case (nominative plural), the adjective just takes the standard -en ending to become die neuen Windräder.
