But wait .... there is more! (I'm sorry!)

You understand "subject"(onderwerp) and "verb form" (werkwoord).

"The rest of the sentence" is still unclear.

Let's break it down.

The rest of the sentence consists of: 

what - where - when

Place - Where

Time - When

What appears last in English sentence?
(hint: alphabet)

1. Time - when
2. Place - where

RECAP

WHO-DOES (verb)-WHAT-WHERE-WHEN

(WIE -DOET-WAT-WAAR-WANNEER)

Adverb (bijwoord) before verb

Time at the end
