Thank you for video! Do I understand correctly that the adverbial part is moved forward for extra attention to itself in terms of meaning?

[@DutchRound1]

Yes, in general if you start a sentence with another clause, part of a sentence than the subject that part gets stressed…

[@michaelvandemolegraaf8124]

another great video. I was confused at the end: I don't think you showed us on the screen (the last two sentences) how the inversion should look (?) or I have completely misunderstood!

[@DutchRound1]

Hello Michael, the last two examples also show the sentence with inversion. The first one is a question and the second one starts with an indication of a place... Please take a look again for better understanding or let me know in the comments how I can make it clearer for you... regards, Ruben

[@michaelvandemolegraaf8124]

I rewatched and of course you are correct 😜. So if I form a sentence in Dutch (in the context of this video) I can construct it as I would in English? I go to school/Ik ga naar school (?) But when we add an adverb to modify the sentence (morgen) the inversion kicks in?

[@DutchRound1]

Whenever you start a sentence with another word of group of words than a subject, inversion kicks in... (f.i. ik ga morgen naar school : I go to school tomorrow versus morgen ga ik naar school : tomorrow I go to school ) hope that sorts you out...

I think "naar de markt" is a prepositional clause rather than an adverbial one

[@DutchRound1]

True that ! Will adapt that, appreciate the feedback

[@indyola1]

We call these "possessive adjectives" in English. "Possessive pronouns do not go in front of nouns, like all pronouns, they ARE nouns. "My bicycle is over there" has a possessive adjective. "That one is mine" has a possessive pronoun.

[@indyola1]

possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs

[@DutchRound1]

Thanks for the heads-up, will make note of it...

[@human7491]

Possessives adjectives? Not possessive determinatives?
