  • Dieses Dokument erklären alle Bedingungen.

    The verb must be conjugated to match the singular subject: ‘erklärt’, not the infinitive ‘erklären’.

  • Dieses Dokument erklärt allem Bedingungen.

    ‘allem’ is dative; the noun ‘Bedingungen’ is accusative here, so use ‘alle’.

Cultural Tip

In German business communication, it is common to refer to a specific document when clarifying terms. Using ‘erklärt’ signals a clear, instructional tone, while ‘alle Bedingungen’ emphasizes completeness. Make sure the document is actually comprehensive; otherwise, native speakers may view the statement as overly formal or even misleading.
