• Engels
• Middelbare school
• vwo
• Leerjaar 4

Welcome!

•  Login to the LessonUp
• Based on the meme, what are we going to talk about today?
  

Today

•  Of course: word order!
• At the end of the lesson you will be able to put a scrambled sentence in the right order.
  
• Second hour: Work on your presentation/credits
  

Analyse this sentence:
"We never have to work on sundays"
What type of words? In which order? You don't need to use the correct terms, just write down what you see.

Word order

•  English is a SVO language: Subject, verb, object
• I have been walking to the store
  
• Dutch is SOV: Subject, object, verb
• Ik ben naar de winkel gelopen.
  
• So English and Dutch are different types of languages based on word order!
  

Word order rules

• First subject than verbs (onderwerp - gezegde)
• All verb go together: "I have told her"
  

• Indications of time go at the beginning or the end of a sentence: "I talked to him yesterday"
• Indications of place go before indications of time if they both occur in a sentence:
• "We can eat something at the station at 6 o'clock"

Word order rules

• Adverbs signalling time: always, never, sometimes often, seldom, usually. + the words: already, soon, almost, also, probably, nearly, certainly go before the verb.

• "I often get headaches when we talk about grammar."
• These words go after the first auxiliary when there are multiple verbs in the sentence:

• She had nearly lost all of her money
  

Word order rules

•  However, if there is a form of to be in the sentence? These adverbs are placed after the form of to be:
• He was also at the party/We were seldom in our hotel room
• In questions these adverbs come after the subject:
• Will that band also visit the Hague?
  
• In some instances English switches the subject and the verbs around: Jenny liked him a lot -> So did Kim.
  

Put the sentence in the right order:
have / garden / hours / playing / in / been / three / the / girls / the / for
(Wie Doet Wat Waar Wanneer)

Put the sentence in the right order:
already / the / it / worse / very / situation / getting / is / economic / bad, / and / is
(Wie Doet Wat Waar Wanneer)

Let's get to work

•  If you answered the questions correctly you can start working: Unit 4, Lesson 3 exercise 12.
  
• Done? Do the vocabulary exercises of Unit 2/or versterk jezelf.
  
• If you made one or more mistakes we will do one or two questions from of course together.
  

Scrambled Sentences?

[decided] [Jack and I] [last week] [a drone] [on the internet] [to buy]

Step 1: Identify the subject and the verb

Step 2: Put the verb behind the subject

Step 3: Are there any objects (lijdend voorwerp/meewerkend voorwerp)

Step 4: Is there an indication of time and place?

Step 5: Place goes before time (P before T)

Step 6: Are there any adverbs/parts left?

Step 7: Check! Wie doet wat waar wanneer?

Give it a try

[at Jack's] [at seven o'clock] [last night] [met] [We]

Step 1: Identify the subject and the verb
Step 2: Put the verb behind the subject
Step 3: Are there any objects (lijdend voorwerk)
Step 4: Is there an indication of time and place?
Step 5: Place goes before time (P before T)
Step 6: Are there any adverbs/parts left?

Step 7: Check! Wie doet wat waar wanneer?

One more tip!

Sometimes there are multiple clauses (bijzinnen).

You can recognise this when there are multiple subjects and verb phrases.

"[Jack bought a drone yesterday] and [he already broke it]."

The same rules apply, but keep this in mind!
