Wir heiraten morgen.

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.

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

No. In this sentence, werden is not needed.

German uses the present tense for future meaning very frequently, especially with words like:

• morgen = tomorrow
• bald = soon
• nächste Woche = next week

So Wir heiraten morgen is the normal way to say it.

You can say Wir werden morgen heiraten, but it may sound a bit more explicit, formal, or emphatic depending on context.

It can work in both ways, depending on the sentence.

1. Without an object, it means to get married

   • Wir heiraten morgen.

2. With a direct object, it can mean to marry someone

   • Ich heirate Anna.

So heiraten is flexible in German in a way that may feel a little broader than English.

Because morgen here is an adverb, meaning tomorrow.

English also normally says:

• We’re getting married tomorrow

not

• We’re getting married on tomorrow

So German and English actually work similarly here. You just use morgen directly, with no preposition.

Yes, absolutely.

German lets you move elements around for emphasis, as long as the finite verb stays in second position.

So both are correct:

• Wir heiraten morgen.
• Morgen heiraten wir.

The meaning is basically the same, but the focus shifts a little:

• Wir heiraten morgen. → neutral
• Morgen heiraten wir. → puts more emphasis on tomorrow

Because it is the first word of the sentence.

In German, pronouns like wir are not normally capitalized in the middle of a sentence. It is capitalized here only because it begins the sentence.

Compare:

• Wir heiraten morgen.
• Morgen heiraten wir.

In the second sentence, wir is lowercase.

A simple English-friendly approximation is:

HIGH-rah-ten

More accurately:

• hei sounds like English high
• ra has a German r, which can vary by accent
• ten ends with a reduced vowel, something like tən

So it is roughly:

HIGH-rah-tən

Yes. In the present tense, it follows a regular pattern.

For example:

• ich heirate
• du heiratest
• er/sie/es heiratet
• wir heiraten
• ihr heiratet
• sie/Sie heiraten

So in Wir heiraten morgen, the form heiraten matches wir.

They describe different things:

• heiraten = to get married / to marry
• verheiratet sein = to be married

So:

• Wir heiraten morgen. = the marriage is happening tomorrow
• Wir sind verheiratet. = we are married already

This is a very useful distinction:

• heiraten = the event
• verheiratet sein = the state afterward

In practice, English would usually say We’re getting married tomorrow for this idea.

The German sentence Wir heiraten morgen most naturally refers to the two people getting married.

If you wanted to say that we are marrying someone else, German would normally make that clearer with objects, for example:

• Wir heiraten unsere Partner morgen.

Without an object, Wir heiraten morgen is naturally understood as We’re getting married tomorrow.

Yes, but only when it is used as a noun.

In this sentence, morgen means tomorrow, so it is an adverb and stays lowercase:

• Wir heiraten morgen.

But as a noun, der Morgen means the morning, so it is capitalized:

• Der Morgen ist kalt.

This is a common point of confusion for learners.
