Thanks 🙏🏾 this is so helpful. I’m a native English speaker who visited the Netherlands 🇳🇱. I’ve been listening to your videos for a short time and I’m already mastering Dutch language. The reflexive verb “Ik was me” I could easily mistake for “it was me”

This video was very hard for me to process for the first time. But after a while, I came back when I've learned the `om te` construction, separable verbs, and subclauses. Now this feels like a good material to revise everything and structure the mess in my head. Thanks a lot.

You're very welcome! Indeed, it's something that improves over time. As an absolute beginner, it's a bit confusing because it isn't time yet to learn these things. Glad it helped!

Excellent vid.... however not sure what "I don't have the shopping" means. Is the translation actually "I don't have the groceries?"

@LearnDutchwithAlain 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks. My knowledge of English isn't infinite :), so I'm not sure if I understand 'groceries' properly. 'De boodschappen' are the things you buy, usually on a regular basis. To me, groceries are vegetables but 'de boodschappen' are more than vegetables. Hope it helps!

I studied word order a lot and i came to some conclusions. In main sentence subject and first verb never leaves each other they are always together at bijzins (sidesentences) they are seperated and verb goes to end if there is two verbs they both goes to the end. Object always at the last place of middle part of the sentence and they come after time and direction or place but not after second verb. om .. te creates a side sentence so the werb at this side sentence goes to the end if the verb is seperable verb its preposition comes before te. Maar En Of Want Dus = MEOWD doesn't seperate subject and first verb. By this principals i am writing a sentence just now from my mind. Ik wilde naar de bioscoop gaan, dus wilde mijn vriend een beetje tijd samen besteden om haar blij te maken terwijl haar moeder in het ziekenhuis verbleef.

Dus is een tijd of plaats op de eerste positie in een vraag verboden, omdat dat een dubbele invertie zou zijn?

Hm, je kan zeggen 'Naar Gent ga je niet?', het neemt hier de plaats van 'waar' of een gelijkaardig woord in.

When speaking about tomorrow, you used present tense: "Ik was me morgen." Is that okay? I was thinking it should be "Ik zal me morgen wassen."

Yes, it's ok but you can use your alternative as well.

Well... I've been through this guide: www.dutchgrammar.com/en/?n=WordOrder.00 and I couldn't find anything. I guess you could 'feel' a comma between werken and morgen: Ik moet werken, morgen. But honestly, I'm not sure.
