Verb Second

💡

The Verb Anchor

Always find the verb first. If you know where the verb is, you can build the rest of the sentence around it.

Listen for the verb

When you hear a sentence starting with a verb, your brain should immediately switch to 'question mode'.

자주 하는 실수

In Swedish, you must invert the subject and verb to show it is a question.

Wrong: Du är glad?
정답: Är du glad?

The verb must follow the question word immediately.

Wrong: Vad du gör?
정답: Vad gör du?

Swedish is not a pro-drop language; you must include the subject.

Wrong: Var bor?
정답: Var bor du?
