I live here for 4 years... (10:12). You know, not only Germans speak this way. English-speaking people do that a lot, too. They simplify precise and more complicated expressions into simpler and less certain forms. And they even violate some basic rules in common speech. Including, for example, plural vs singular forms, using wrong articles, and so on.

What you write is very clear, except for one thing: who says what? It would be much clearer, “if you would rearrange the examples into English: “…”, German English: “…”, or something like that.

@kevinb2469 “Most of us English speakers do a terrible job of comma placement anyways” Well, not quite so. You see, despite obviously crazy features of English (totally illogical orthography and pronunciation, for example) English punctuation is the most logical and simple, simpler than in some other languages. Besides, formal syntax never provides the ultimate expression power required by semantics; I can easily build some very logical clauses that simply don't allow unambiguously correct punctuation. The idea is that you cannot legitimately and unambiguously express in English something pretty simple, like “For ((…) and (…)) ((…) and (…))”. Or you can, but the result would be formally incorrect due to at least one formal punctuation rule.

@FreezyAbitKT7A Isn't time is first?... "Yesterday have I to her the keys given" — sounds super! What do you call such things? — Germanlish, or what? 🙂
