vraag over "ik", aantwoorden in Engels alstublief

[ikbegrijphetniet]

Can someone please tell me, in English, in what situation "ik" comes after the verb?

I thought the subject comes after the verb only when it is a question, but the other day I said to my teacher "Morgen ik kom niet" and she said "het is 'Morgen kom ik niet' ". Since then I have actively looked and have seen the subject (ik, hij, etc) after the verb sometimes. I can not figure out the pattern.

My Dutch is still quite low so when she tried to explain it to me I didn't understand.

Thank you!

Hoi Ikbegrijphetniet,

The subject can come after the verb for two reasons:
1) The sentence is a question (Kom je morgen ook?)
2) There is already an other word before the verb.

In a Dutch sentence that's not a question, the finite verb (that's the verb that changes with the subject) ALWAYS comes at the second place. Normally, the subject comes first, but if you start the sentence with something else than the subject, for example a time word (morgen), the subject has to move to the place after the verb, because the verb insists on being at the second place.

Examples:
Ik kom morgen niet. (Subject before verb, default situation)
Morgen kom ik niet. (Morgen before verb --> subject (ik) after verb)
Dat weet ik niet. (Direct object (dat) before verb --> subject (ik) after verb)

Hope this ends your confusion.

Groetjes,
Joke
