No. 180 in German
dass
"That" (used as a conjunction to introduce a subordinate clause).
In a sentence
Ich weiß, dass du die Wahrheit sagst.
I know that you are telling the truth.
Here, 'dass' introduces a subordinate clause, serving as a conjunction that links the dependent clause to the main clause, indicating the object of the verb 'weiß' (know).
Es ist wichtig, dass wir pünktlich sind.
It is important that we are on time.
In this sentence, 'dass' introduces a subordinate clause, specifying the content or the detail that emphasizes the adjective 'wichtig' (important).
Sie glaubt, dass er sie besuchen wird.
She believes that he will visit her.
Again, 'dass' functions as a conjunction linking the subordinate clause to the verb 'glaubt' (believes), indicating the content of her belief.
