Questions & Answers about Wir wollen morgen im Park spielen.

Why is spielen at the end of the sentence?

In German, when you use a modal verb like wollen (to want), the infinitive (spielen, to play) moves to the end of the clause. The finite verb (wollen) occupies the second position, and the non-finite verb goes all the way to the end.

Why is im Park in the dative case?

The preposition in can take either accusative (movement into somewhere) or dative (location in somewhere). Here it expresses location (“in the park”), so it requires the dative. in + dem Park contracts to im Park.

What’s the difference between wollen and möchten?

wollen expresses a strong desire or intention (“to want to”). möchten is the subjunctive of mögen and is more polite, meaning “would like to.” Saying Wir wollen … is more forceful than Wir möchten ….

Can I move morgen (tomorrow) to the beginning of the sentence?

Yes. German allows you to front adverbials. If you put morgen first, you get:
Morgen wollen wir im Park spielen.
The finite verb (wollen) remains in second position, and the subject comes after it.
