Past Tense Verlede Tyd I struggle so much with my past tense in Afrikaans. Kom Mickey! Ek sal vir jou help! Done by: Jade van den Berg and Liza Breyl
Okay, “stompi” is a tool we can use to write Afrikaans sentences. S: V 1 T: O: M: V 2 P: I: This is the subject This is the time Stompi Subjek (subject) verb 1(werkwoord) Tyd (time) Objek (object) Manier (manner) verb 2(werkwoord ) Plek (place) Infinitief (infinitive) *this is not always needed in every sentence* Object Manner Place Ek gaan nou met die hond vinnig stap na die parkie toe. V 2 M O P S V 1 T
Wat gebruik ons in verlede tyd? We use the suffixes “het” and “ge” We use “Stompi” to show is where to put these suffixes. These are going to change. S v 1 T O M v 2 P I Take the verb and replace it with “het” and then put the verb at the end of the sentence with ”ge” added to it Replace with “het” Ek S stap met die hond. V 1 O Put verb at the back of the sentence with “ge” added to it.
So wat is die eindruseltaat? Ek stap met die hond. Ek het met die hond gestap. Wow! I never knew it was so easy! Okay let me try one now…
Lets take this sentence: Ek maak lekker kos Ek het lekker kos gemaak Jy sien Mickey, dis eintlik heelwat makliker as wat dit lyk! I see Goofy! Thank you so much for explaining it to me! Nou kan ek met vertroue afrikaans praat!
