✕Common Mistakes
Hier gesehene du die geschätzte Fahrzeit.
‘gesehene’ is a past participle used as an adjective, not a verb form. The correct verb is ‘siehst du’.
Hier siehst du der geschätzte Fahrzeit.
‘Fahrzeit’ is feminine, so the accusative article must be ‘die’, not ‘der’.
Hier du siehst die geschätzte Fahrzeit.
German main clauses require the finite verb in second position; the pronoun cannot precede the verb.

Cultural Tip
German prefers the verb‑second rule, so starting a sentence with ‘Hier’ pushes the verb to the second slot. In informal settings ‘du’ is natural, but in a professional context you would switch to ‘Sie’: ‘Hier sehen Sie die geschätzte Fahrzeit.’ Also, German speakers often use the noun ‘Fahrzeit’ in transport contexts, while in everyday speech they might say ‘Reisezeit’ for longer trips.
