I was wondering why helping verb “hat” is at the end here:
“Ich weiß, dass Kolumbus Amerika entdeckt hat.”
Isn’t it supposed to be
“Ich weiß, dass Kolumbus hat Amerika entdeckt” ?
Thanks
In German word order, the conjugated verb takes the second position in main clauses, but the last position in subordinate clauses. The part starting with "dass" is a subordinate clause.
