Giving an opinion with a reason
Ich finde den Film interessant, weil …
Explain a simple opinion, respond politely and distinguish an evaluation from factual information.
Use Ich finde … or Meiner Meinung nach … to mark an opinion. Give a reason with weil: Ich finde den Film interessant, weil die Geschichte spannend ist. The conjugated verb ends the weil-clause. After Meiner Meinung nach at the start, the main-clause verb follows: Meiner Meinung nach ist der Film zu lang. A fact such as Der Film dauert neunzig Minuten is different from Der Film ist langweilig. People can agree about the length and disagree about whether they enjoyed it. Auch agrees with an evaluation; aber introduces a contrast. Ask Warum? and acknowledge a different preference without turning it into a factual error.

Meiner Meinung nach ist der Film zu lang.

Explain a simple opinion, respond politely and distinguish an evaluation from factual information.
Do not treat ich finde as proof that everybody has the same opinion. Keep the verb-last order after weil.
Opinion + weil + reason, verb last. Meiner Meinung nach + verb + subject. A personal evaluation is not a measurable fact.
Choose a film or book you know. Give one factual detail, one personal opinion and one reason. Write a polite reply from someone with another opinion.
