Breakdown of Wir trainieren zusammen im Garten.
Questions & Answers about Wir trainieren zusammen im Garten.
zusammen is an adverbial meaning together. You can replace it with miteinander (also “together”), e.g.
Wir trainieren miteinander im Garten.
zusammen normally follows the verb (wir trainieren zusammen), but you can also move it to the beginning or end for emphasis:
Zusammen trainieren wir im Garten.
im is a contraction of in dem. When in indicates a location (answering “where?”), it takes the dative case. Garten is masculine, so its dative singular article is dem:
in dem Garten → im Garten
üben means to practice or rehearse, often a skill, music piece, language, etc. trainieren usually implies physical exercise or sports training. So
Wir trainieren zusammen im Garten
suggests a workout, whereas
Wir üben zusammen im Garten
suggests practicing something (e.g., yoga poses, sport drills).
German main clauses follow the verb‑second (V2) rule: the finite verb must be the second element. Here wir (subject) is first, so trainieren is second. You can put other elements (adverbials, objects) first for emphasis, but the verb still stays in second position. For example:
Im Garten trainieren wir zusammen.
Zusammen trainieren wir im Garten.
