>>>

Ik heb [een examen] op woensdag.

Translate the following sentence (focus on the part between brackets):

I have an exam on Wednesday.

• "Exam" starts with an [e]  (read: what you hear when you pronounce the word) which means the article used is "an"

Vanavond ga ik iets eten in [een restaurant].

Translate the following sentence (focus on the part between brackets):

Tonight, I am going to have something to eat at a restaurant.

• "Restaurant" starts with an [r] (read: what you hear when pronouncing the word) so the article used is "a".

         Prepositions

Most prepositions show where something/someone is located.

        A: Where is Ryan?
        B: Ryan is in the kitchen. 

Prepositions are words like: in, at and on

        > Other examples are: before, during, while, under, behind

[voorzetsels]

Prepositions: where to use them

• The preposition always goes in front of the place where the person or thing is located

          > The taxi is on + the road.

Look around the room... Which prepositions do you already know?

Write down a preposition (and think of an example sentence).

WRITING TIP

Bij het schrijven van een brief, e-mail, blog, etc. is het soms niet alleen nodig om een voorzetsel te gebruiken om extra informatie te verstrekken, het zorgt er ook voor dat de zinnen niet zo eentonig zijn. Het zorgt dus voor een beetje kleur in je taalgebruik.
