use of 'fehlen'

Postby Alder » June 25th, 2009 4:32 pm

Sentence from lesson 10 for beginners:
'Es fehlen noch mehrere Sachen.' (Several things are still missing.)

Can anyone explain please why the verb here is in infinitive form?
Thanks :?

Hi!

Because "fehlen" in this case belongs to "mehrere Sachen" - plural!

"mehrere Sachen fehlen", but "eine Sache fehlt" :D !
