Is this short sentence correct or wrong?
Hello,
Duolingo offers the following as an example:
-
Damit ist die Gruppe komplett.
It's supposed to mean: With that the group is complete.
Is this a valid German sentence?
And can it be re-written as:
-
Damit die Gruppe ist komplett.
Thank you.

"Damit ist die Gruppe komplett" is correct. The verb has to appear in second position. The sentence cannot be re-written as "Damit die Gruppe ist komplett". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V2_word_order http://german.about.com/library/weekly/aa032700a.htm

I would prefer "Die Gruppe ist vollständig". But yes, you can say the above as well.
