    Is this correct if I want to say the following: in reality not a lot is being done= in Wirklichkeit nicht zu viel es wird gemacht ist


    And also is this word order correct: Neuiclich kann ich kein Job finden

    I think the correct word order would be "In Wirklichkeit wird nicht so viel gemacht", or you could maybe say In Wirklichkeit wird wenig getan., although don't think there's much difference between them.

    For the second, the word order is correct (but it's "neulich kann ich keinEN Job finden if you want to be 100% gramatically correct).

    If there's any native speakers around they might be able to suggest other ways of saying these sentences, but if it's for the Leaving Cert tomorrow, both of the above should be fine. Best of luck with it!

    Neulich requires the past tense so it should read: "Neulich konnte ich keinen Job finden"

    That's correct
