WORD ORDER

PLACE

TIME

Adverbs of place and time

Adverb of place = plaatsbepaling    (at school, in the car, 

                                                                            in England)

Adverb of time = tijdsbepaling          (at 4 o'clock, tomorrow

                                                                            next week, yesterday)

Adverbs of place and time

Komen in het Engels meestal aan het eind van de zin:

He is going to give a concert in Houston    (place)

He is going to give a concert tomorrow       (time)

Adverbs of place and time

Als het moment wanneer het gebeurt belangrijk is, kun je de tijdsbepaling (adverb of time) helemaal vooraan in de zin zetten:

Tomorrow he is going to give a concert.

Let op: Het is tijd, onderwerp, werkwoord niet tijd, werkwoord, onderwerp

Adverbs of place and time

Wanneer plaats en tijd allebei in de zin staan, komt eerst plaats en dan tijd: 

He is going to give a concert in Houston tomorrow
