verbweave — German verb-placement dataset

32,159 rows teaching the constrained edit "translate only the main verb to German and place it where German grammar requires":

{"en": "She has eaten the apple already.",
 "verb": "eaten",
 "de": "gegessen",
 "out": "She has the apple already gegessen.",
 "construction": "perfect"}

Coverage

20 German word-order constructions (perfect, passive, modal, future, subordinate, relative, separable-prefix, questions, imperatives, negation, …) — the constructions are the curriculum; ~77% of rows move the verb.
234 target verbs, median ~95 rows each, across 39 verb groups × 15 topics.

Generation & validation

Generated with Claude via a construction × topic grid walk (one open-ended "give me 5000 sentences" call collapses onto a dozen sentence shapes; the grid prevents that). Every row passed a structural validator: only the verb may change — the non-verb tokens of input and output are multiset-compared, and any row that reworded, dropped, or invented a word was rejected (~7% reject rate). Global dedupe on normalised sentence text.

Held-out splits (newval 1,421 rows / fixval 436) are leak-checked: 0.1% near-duplicate contamination, mean max-similarity 0.35 to training sentences.

Known limitations

LLM-generated German: the validator enforces structure, not correctness, so LLM German is the quality ceiling. A confidently wrong inflection passes.
Negation data teaches nicht; German sometimes wants kein — some negated rows are subtly unidiomatic.
Informal du imperatives throughout.
