Afrikaans Word Order Explained: Part 3 – STOMP (Qeustion vs Statement)

 

Cartoon owl in a graduation cap pointing to the title “Afrikaans Word Order Explained: Part 3 – STOMPI (Qeustion vs Statement)” – Owl’s Bilingual Academy.

📘 Who this is for: CAPS, IEB, Cambridge students (FAL and SAL Grades 7–12) and adult Afrikaans learners.

What happens to STOMP if the sentence changes into a question or statement

Die selfde gebeur as die sin in ’n vraag of ’n stelling verander anders wat sal gebeur as die sin van tyd verander. Die werkwoord skuif, maar die dele van STOMP bly dieselfde.

 

The same happens if the sentence changes into a statement or a question, other than what happens if the sentence changes tense. The verb moves around, but the parts of STOMP stay the same.

Om die sin tussen vrae of stellings te verander kan partykeer meer ingewikkeld as dit wees. As jy meer wil leer kyk asseblief na my lesse oor vrae en stellings.

 

Changing sentences between questions or statements can sometimes be more complicated than this. If you would like to learn more, please refer to my lessons on how to change sentences into questions and statements.
