Order of Phrases: 

- In Dutch, we first mention the determination of time and after determination of time we mention place. 

In English, it is the other way round.

For example: We gaan morgen naar amsterdam/We travel to Amsterdam tomorrow. 

Order of phrases:

- In English, all the verbs in the sentence are together. In Dutch, this is not necessary, or sometimes even sounds strange. 

For example: We kunnen morgen naar Amsterdam gaan/We can go to Amsterdam tomorrow. 

What is a clause:

Een clause is een groep woorden die wel of niet los kan staan.

Een sentence kan altijd los staan. 

Bijvoorbeeld: Come here is a clause and I want you to go is a sentence. 

Order of phrases: 

- So the place clause always comes before the time clause. Manner, place, time . Except when you want to emphasise the time. Then you put it right at the beginning of the sentence. 

For example: I went to the parc yesterday.

                             Yesterday I went to the parc.

Order of phrases:

 - The way something happens represents the place. The correct order of clauses is: manner, place, time. 

For example: I worked hard at the office yesterday.

Order of phrases: 

- Less concrete time expressions such as often, usual, always and never are placed before the main verb in the sentence or directly after the verb form of 'to be'.

For example: We never play tennis. /  We have never seen his girlfriend.

Adverbs of frequency: 

- With an adverb of frequency you can indicate, for example, how often you do or use something.

For example with the words: Always, never, rarely or usually.

I always go to the gym 4 times a week.

Adverbs of frequency:

- All adverbs of frequency: Always, usually, normally, generally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally, seldom, hardly ever, rarely, ever, never. 

Adverbs of frequency: 

- The position of an adverb of frequency in a sentence:

The adverb stands before the main verb in the sentence (except for to be):

- I never liked that boy. 

Adverbs of frequency:

- The adverb is put after the verb to be:

 

- She is always happy to see her dog again.

Adverbs of frequency:

- If there is also an auxiliary verb in the sentence (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the adverb is placed after the first auxiliary verb:

- They would hardly ever be that rude to him.
