What is the difference between vågner and står op?
Vågner means to wake up and open your eyes, while står op means to actually get out of bed.
Why do we use klokken before the numbers?
Klokken literally means 'the clock'. In Danish, you use it before a number to express 'o'clock'. So klokken seks is 'six o'clock'.
Why is there no jeg before står op?
Just like in English, if the same person is doing both actions, you don't need to repeat the subject. You can simply link the two actions with og (and).
