Questions & Answers about Wir heiraten morgen.

Why is heiraten in the second position?

Because German main clauses usually follow the verb-second rule (V2). That means the finite verb goes in the second slot.

In Wir heiraten morgen:

• Wir = first slot
• heiraten = second slot
• morgen = the rest of the sentence

This is one of the most basic German word-order patterns.

Why is German using the present tense here if the action happens in the future?

German very often uses the present tense to talk about the future, especially when there is a time word that makes the future meaning clear.

Here, morgen already tells you the action is in the future, so Wir heiraten morgen is completely normal.

German often prefers this over a future construction with werden.

For example:

• Wir heiraten morgen. = natural everyday German
• Wir werden morgen heiraten. = also correct, but often less necessary
