Afrikaans:
Woordorde:
Always refer to:
Subject: Who/what?
V1:usually the auxiliary verb
Time: when the action is being preformed
Object: who/what?
Manner: how?
Place: where?
V2(verb 2): the doing word/action
Infinitive: om…te/ behoort
Now, if we get a sentence that is in the negative form, it will
look like this: S V1 O N T V2 N
Tye:
Verlede tyd (past tense):
het + ge
and the verb goes to the end of the sentence,
Unless the verb starts with: be, ge, her, er, ont, ond, ver en
mis then it will not get a ge
Rules:
, Words that change: is-was; sal-sou; wil-wou; kan-kon;
moet-moes, when you get these words, you don’t need
to change the sentence, only change the word.
If the verb is het, you will add another het and take it to
the end of the sentence and change it to gehad.
If there is a verb and a preposition, it will become:
preposition+ge-verb (ingekom)
If given the helping verbs gaan, laat and kom, they will
go to the end of the sentence before the verb
If you can do both verbs at the same time, the first one
gets a ge, if you cant do both they both get a ge.
The words: as, wanner, dan en nou change to “toe”,
(Jeremy is bly as hy vir sara sien-jeremy was blye to hy
vir sara sien)
If the sentence contains an infinitive you just need to
replace the verb with “het” and after that you add in the
place then the verb + -ge and your infinitive will always
come last
(Pierce bly in die bed om te rus- Pierce het in die bed gebly
om to rus)
Toekomende tyd:
Sal in the place of the verb and the verb moves to the end of
the sentence.
Rules:
Has the word “wil, moet en kan” as the verb, sal will take its
place and it will go just before the verb.
