Syntax with Adverbials
What is it?
Adverbials can be a lot of different words that changes the mood of the sentence, time or place indicators, or it can be a subordinate clause as in: I will help you if you'll let me.
The Rules
The word order is:
S = Subject (the do'er)
V = Verb (the action)
DO = Direct Object (what/who is 'actioned')
Adv = Adverbial (e.g. subordinate clauses or place and time indicators)
IO = Indirect Object (and to whom)
Adv = Adverbial (e.g. subordinate clauses or place and time indicators)
Examples
| Jeg | giver | hende | først | blomsterne | når hun siger undskyld |
| S | V | IO | Adv | DO | Adv |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [lit: I | give | her | first | the flowers | when she says sorry] |
But be careful!!!
If you want to say Jeg giver hende blomsterne i morgen! and change the adverbial (time indicator) to the front of the sentence i.e. I morgen giver jeg hende blomsterne: The verb comes first!!!!!!
