Understanding Subject-Verb Agreement in Dansk
Subject-verb agreement is a grammar rule that helps us make sure that the subject of a sentence and the verb match each other. In Dansk, this is quite simple compared to some other languages.
Important Points
- The verb usually stays the same regardless of the subject.
- The subject can be a noun or a pronoun.
- Subjects and verbs must agree in number, which means they must both be singular or both be plural.
Examples of Subject-Verb Agreement
Examples
- Jeg spiser en is.
- Hun løber hurtigt.
- De synger en sang.
In each of these examples, the verb (spiser, løber, synger) does not change form, even though the subjects (Jeg, Hun, De) are different.
