I have noticed something something when learning German.
In English, we say "I think he went to the mall."
In German, we say "Ich glaube, er ging in die Mall." Is this okay to say in German? I saw it in a textbook, once.
It seems like "I think" is a main clause, and "he went to the mall" is also a main clause.
Am I missing something, is there a subordinate conjunction that is left out? What connects these two into one sentence?
If one of them isn't acting as a main clause and as something else, what is it? I am thinking people familiar with languages would know about this. Is this only okay in English?
