I've been learning German and I call it the surprise ending language because everything is like that. In complex phrases, you often leave the primary verb until the very last word. So you might get something like:

I'd like to, with your daughter and a duck, this coming weekend, at the park, if it's not raining, with our bicycles, go for a ride.

I will accede to your request but only under one condition which is that I come.

Ja, sehr gut! Ich liebe mit mein Freunden in dem Park Fahrrad fahren!
