An original Dutch practice passage describes a young person in Flanders who reads Dutch at home, studies with classmates using several languages and joins a cross-border youth project. The narrator says: “Ik hoef niet één deel van mijn leven af te wijzen om een ander deel serieus te nemen”. One learner concludes that the person must live in the Netherlands because the text is Dutch. Another says multilingual belonging is necessarily confused.

A class compares the original Dutch examples “Morgen ga ik naar school”, “Ik blijf thuis omdat ik ziek ben”, “omdat ik gewerkt heb” and “omdat ik heb gewerkt”. One learner counts words instead of constituents and assumes the second written position always selects the verb. Another rejects one of the final examples merely because the auxiliary is not the last word. A third distinguishes the ordinary declarative main clause, the subordinate clause and an established two-verb group with variation.
