At the end of today's class:

Two, too and to

• Two = twee
  I got two horses
• To = naar, om (voorzetsel)
  We are going to school
  We ask you to stay  here
• Too = ook of te(veel)
  He likes music too
  You are talking too much

Than and Then

• Then is used with time
  
• Than is used with comparison

Their, there, they're

• Their = hun (bezittelijk voornaamwoord)
  Their car
• There = daar, er 
  There are some nice cars
• They're = they are = zij zijn
  They are always nice to me

Your and you're 

• Your = jouw (bezittelijk voornaamwoord)
  Is that your pen?
• You're = you are = jij bent
  You are a student

Example

Currently , I am working on project x. This is by far my worst project I ever had. It also has me connected with one of the worst companies. In comparasion to  project x, project Y  was much nicer. What I like about it is that I could be more free and use my creativity. 

Time to work on your writing skills!

• Write a short story on a random topic:
• Minimaal 70 woorden

Your turn

• Let your neigbour(s) check your story for grammatical mistakes/coherency
