I’ve been struggling on Duolingo because I didn’t know the “verb-comma-verb rule”. Now I understand! Thank you, Emma.

Hi Emma! thank you for the explanation 🙂 I have been still struggling with some examplles that to me dont seem to follow the word order like “Das ist das Smartphone, das mir mein Sohn letztes Jahr geschenkt hat” To me, I would write “mein Sohn” before “mir” instead, and i have been told that it is also valid, however i would like to understand why this other way is also okay, and to know when to use this form instead of the other.
Again thank you so much for all this amazing content!
