    Grammar & Usage

    How it works

    This is an infinitival verb phrase consisting of direct object nouns ('Musik' / 'Filme') and the separable prefix verb 'herunterladen'. In main clauses with finite verb forms, the prefix 'herunter' separates and moves to the end of the clause (e.g., 'Ich lade Musik herunter'). In subordinate clauses or infinitive constructions with 'zu', the verb remains combined or takes the form 'herunterzuladen'.
