Review Summary

  • Subject + Verb (conjugated) + ... + Prefix

常见错误

Never keep the prefix attached to the verb in a main clause. It must jump to the end.

Wrong: Ik opsta om zeven uur.
正确: Ik sta om zeven uur op.

The prefix goes to the absolute end of the clause, even after prepositional phrases.

Wrong: Ik ga mee met hem naar de winkel.
正确: Ik ga met hem mee naar de winkel.

The object comes between the conjugated verb and the prefix.

Wrong: Hij belt op zijn moeder.
正确: Hij belt zijn moeder op.
