Let’s practice “to depend” in German.

The English “to depend” needs the preposition “on” to connect an object.
The German options also have their preposition of choice.
For “abhängen” it’s “von“, but…

Cool. Now let’s practice a little bit.
Your friend asks you if you want to join their Grillfest (BBQ), but you remember the rain storm disaster from last time and you only want to come if the weather is good.

And let’s do a variation.

The “dependence” isn’t always as simple as the word weather or mood. Often, we need a full side sentence to do it – like here, for example: “It depends on whether I have time or not.”
As you can see, English just uses “on”, but what about German?

Time to try a sentence with “darauf”. And actually, what we’ll use is “drauf”. People rarely say “darauf” in spoken German and they even write “drauf” in most texts. So we’ll practice “drauf” and not “darauf”. Are you ready to give it a try ;)?
Suppose your German friend visits you in your hometown and asks you where you will go for dinner and you want

And again, let’s try a variation of that, again with “ankommen” and “drauf”. Suppose your friend points to a restaurant and asks if it’s good, but it’s a sea food place.
