Rule explained

**oder** can turn a statement into a choice: *Möchtest du Tee **oder** Kaffee?* The other person picks one or says *beides* / *egal* / *weiß nicht*. Rising intonation on the whole question; *oder* is not a yes/no word by itself — you still use **verb first** if it's a full clause: *Fahren wir mit dem Bus, oder gehst du zu Fuß?* (two options, more advanced). At A2, learn fixed patterns: *Ja oder nein?* · *Heute oder morgen?*
