01Dutch reading, argument and faithful communication
Reading and responding uses authentic Dutch texts: emails, advertisements, articles, notices, letters and forms. You must locate specific information, infer meaning, recognise purpose and audience, and understand how a text is organised. The skill being tested is selective reading under time pressure. You need strong command of text structure markers : ten eerste , daarentegen , kortom , al met al , verder .
481 words, about 2 min02Dutch clause structure and contextual language
An ordinary Dutch declarative main clause places the finite verb in the second constituent position. Compare Ik ga morgen naar school with Morgen ga ik naar school. The first constituent can contain several words, so second position does not mean mechanically choosing the second written word. Yes/no questions and subordinate clauses require their own analysis rather than the same surface order.
