    that's correct too, but you need to capitalize Bücher

      Are you able to explain the differences between the two sentences? I wrote "Haben wir seine Bücher auch" as well

        Duolingo doesn't recognise it as correct

          I don't think it recognizes it correct because it's actually improper word order for a German sentence. I don't think auch can go at the end of a sentence, excepting "Ich auch" for "me too."

            I wrote this also, it was marked as incorrect for me also.

              So, verbs must come second unless it's a question???

              If that is also correct then why did it not give it to me?

                  Time and manner is confusing sometimes on Duo (as far as how things are spoken in German?) I gave "Haben wir seine Bücher auch", and Duo wouldn't accept it.

                  Is "auch" at the end at least conversationally exceptional/indifferent? I'm no native so I am very open to critique

                    Machen sie auch haben Bücher. Why isn't this acceptable? Someone please tell me? Thank you

                      So we're reaching the point of Capitalization? And Punctuation?
