It's not a complete sentence.
And that's why we added in our example.
I have a shower.
I take a shower before I go to work.
I take a shower or the other way around.
I take a shower before I go to work.
But we need that other part here to make it complete.
You probably already know this from using weil or das, that in a subordinate clause, the verb is always placed at the end.
And that's why we hit, bevor ich in die Arbeit gehe.
So the verb here is at the very end.
Also, aufschreiben.
Before is used with sentence parts that can't stand alone.
These are called subordinate clauses.
And the verb always goes to the end.
Gut.
Now we've seen what words to use with nouns, for, and we've seen before that we use with subordinate clauses.
But what about sentences like, I will practice my German, but I am drinking my coffee before that.
Now these are two separate sentences.
I will practice my German,
Before that, I am drinking my coffee.
