sentence structure’s part 2
What happens
to STOMP if the sentence changes tense
As die tyd van ’n sin verander skuif die werkwoord rond, maar dele van
STOMP bly dieselfde.
If the
sentence changes tense the verb moves around, but the past of STOMP stays the
same.

Soos jy kan sien, die werkwoord skuif rond as die sin se tyd verander, maar
die res van die sin bly dieselfde. In die algemeen is die werkwoord net agter
die onderwerp in die teenwoordige tyd en skuif na die einde van die sin in die
verlede- en toekomstige tyd, maar daar is uitsonderings. As jy meer oor die
posisie van die werkwoord in Afrikaans wil leer, kyk asseblief na my lesse oor
tye.
As you can see the verb moves around between tenses in
these sentences, but the rest of the sentence stays the same. Generally, the
verb is after the subject in present tense and moves to the back of the
sentence in past- and future tense, but there are exceptions. If you would like
to learn more about the movement of the verb in Afrikaans, please refer to my lessons
on tenses.
