✕Common Mistakes
Ja, das du kannst auf unserer Website machen.
In a main clause the finite verb must be in second position; ‘kannst du’ is correct, but learners sometimes place the subject before the verb (e.g., ‘du kannst’), which changes the emphasis.
Ja, das kannst du auf unser Website machen.
The preposition ‘auf’ requires the dative case; the article must agree with the feminine noun ‘Website’. Use ‘unserer’ not ‘unser’.
Ja, das machen kannst du auf unserer Website.
After a modal verb the infinitive stays at the end. Some learners incorrectly place it before the modal (e.g., ‘machen kannst du’).

Cultural Tip
In German the choice between ‘du’ and ‘Sie’ signals the level of formality. This sentence uses ‘du’, so it’s appropriate only with people you know well or in a casual customer‑service setting where the company has adopted a friendly tone. Also, ‘Website’ is a neutral, widely used loanword; you could also say ‘Internetseite’ in more formal contexts.
