Review Summary
- Huvudsats + Bisats
- Conjunction + Subject + 'inte' + Verb
常见错误
In a subordinate clause, the 'inte' must come before the verb, not after.
If the sentence starts with a bisats, the main clause must begin with the verb to maintain V2 order.
Actually, this is correct! Students often doubt this because it feels like English, but here it matches the rule.
