- English: her vs his
- German: ihr vs sein
- Afrikaans hy vs sy

- English : I am 20
- German: Ich bin 20

Verbs with separating prefixes[edit]
In some Germanic languages (Afrikaans, Dutch, German but not English ), there are verbs with separating prefixes. But not in Romance languages.
See Separable verbs and Multiwords
Verb at the end of the embedded clause[edit]
In some Germanic languages (Dutch, German but not English) the verb is at the end of the embedded clause (SOV) but not in Romance languages (SVO).
Sentences starting with an adverb[edit]
In some Germanic languages (Dutch, German), the verb is always at the second place in the main clause even if there is an adverb at the begining of the sentence (adverb verb subject object) and in Romance languages the verb goes after the verb (adverb subject verb object).
