Unexplained Grammar (so I think)
In lesson 12 of DVD 1 there is no verbal explanation of the construct of this sentence. To me it goes against what the video taught but my German girlfriend says it's right but can't explain why and so I'm here to see if anyone can lend an explanation.
The sentence in English is "And this man? Does he want to fly to Italy too?" and the correct response is "Und dieser Mann? Moechte er auch nach Berlin Fliegen?"
Now, to me, the correct way to say it would have been "Und dieser Mann? Moechte er auch fliegen nach Berlin?" Reason I don't understand this is because "fliegen" is for when using the "we fly" or "You fly" or just "to fly" but here it's talking about a man "he" and that form of the verb is "Fliegt" plus I don't get why "to fly" goes at the end of the sentence when previous questions had answers that went something like this "Ja, ich Fliege nach Rom"
