Verb-second word order
Put the finite verb in the correct position.
Verb-second word order
In a main statement the finite verb is the second constituent, not necessarily the second word. After an initial time phrase, the subject follows the verb: Om kvelden leser jeg en bok.
The rule, step by step
- First identify the finite verb: in skal lese, it is skal.
- In a main statement, the finite verb is the second constituent. I morgen is one constituent.
- After an initial adverbial or subordinate clause, place the subject after the verb. Subordinate clauses have a different pattern.
Sentence pattern
Om kvelden | leser | jeg | en bok.
| Bokmål | Meaning or use |
|---|---|
| Jeg | leser | avisen. | Subject first |
| I dag | leser | jeg avisen. | Time first |
| Etter jobb | skal | jeg lese. | Finite auxiliary second |
Everyday examples
Om kvelden leser jeg en bok.
In the evening I read a book.
I dag tar vi bussen.
Today we take the bus.
Etter frokost drikker vi kaffe.
After breakfast we drink coffee.
A common error or a difference in meaning
I dag vi tar bussen.
I dag tar vi bussen.
I dag is the first constituent, so tar must precede vi.
