✕Common Mistakes
Und für das Englisch auch.
While grammatically possible, native speakers usually drop the article and say 'für Englisch' or use the contraction 'fürs Englisch'.
Und für Englisch auch.
Missing the contraction makes the phrase sound stilted; the natural spoken form is 'Und fürs Englisch auch.'
Und auch für Englisch.
Placing 'auch' before 'für' changes the emphasis and can sound less idiomatic in this short clause.
↔Alternatives
Und auch für Englisch.
And also for English.
Und das gilt auch für Englisch.
And that also applies to English.
Und das gilt ebenfalls für Englisch.
And that likewise applies to English.
Cultural Tip
In German, the names of languages are always capitalized, and the article is often omitted in everyday speech (e.g., 'für Englisch'). The contracted form 'fürs' sounds natural in informal conversation but may be avoided in very formal writing. Positioning of 'auch' can change nuance: 'Und fürs Englisch auch' stresses the addition, while 'Und auch für Englisch' feels slightly more neutral.
