I maindeck an Eye in my Grixis pain deck . Let me tell you NOTHING makes people scoop harder than telling them I dont intend to storm out that turn . <| sep |> They are called the Midshipmen . <| sep |> Er mag es , geduzt zu werden . From that we were also warned in the beginning . It is also wrong . No , it ' s not wrong . Er mag geduzt werden is kind of colloquial and has a different meaning , a synonym for er will geduzt werden or er mchte geduzt werden note that mchte is just Konjunktiv II of mag ! . Er mag es , geduzt zu werden is correct , because mgen doesn ' t take an infinitive clause here , it takes the pronoun es . The geduzt zu werden infinitive clause is separate here . You should really first learn the language properly , before you try to teach native speakers . Edit About the three different books and the teachers , I don ' t think they were wrong , I think you misunderstood them . There is a pattern in the things that you claim can ' t be correct It ' s always cases where a change of meaning happens . Ich mag es , lang zu schlafen means I like to sleep long , while ich mag lang schlafen means I want to sleep long . Ich will von meinem Chef geduzt werden is not simply the passive of mein Chef will mich duzen , it has a different meaning . So you may have learned not to do those things , because it might lead you to saying something different from what you wanted to say . You simply haven ' t learned how to use these constructions correctly yet , which is what we were trying to teach you . Edit 2 As you seem to believe books more than real people , look at . And think about it this way maybe , if you were wrong in your arrogant dismissal of what patient native speakers were trying to teach you in this respect , just maybe you were wrong about other things , too . And just maybe you should change your attitude towards native speakers . German grammar is complex , and you learn it bit by bit . If you see something you don ' t know yet , it may be wrong , or it may be something you haven ' t learned about yet .
