Word order exercises Wiki Dutch Word Order (EN)

The right side only consists of three main parts:

1. Miscellaneous (MISC)
2. Prefix of the separable compound verb (PF)
3. Other verbs (OV)

'Miscellaneous' contains a whole bunch of sentence-components that we can conveniently put in one box. In fact, if you are not sure about a component, just put it under MISC and you will probably have a sound sentence.

Under MISC, you will find the indirect object, the complement, the prepositional phrase - just to name a few. Not all sentences have an indirect object or a complement, or a MISC part at all. Before we get to the miscellaneous part, we will discuss the 'other verbs' (OV) and the prefix of the separable compound verb (PF). Most sentences contain OV and many have a PF.
