Questions & Answers about Komen jullie morgen naar de stad?
Why does this sentence start with the verb komen?
To ask a "yes/no" question in Dutch, you simply swap the order of the subject and the verb. The regular statement Jullie komen (You are coming) turns into the question Komen jullie? (Are you coming?).
The lesson says we drop the '-t' on the verb for "you" in questions. Why isn't it dropped here?
That spelling rule only applies to the singular "you" (jij or je). For example, Kom jij? drops the '-t'. But jullie means "you" in the plural sense (you all). Plural subjects always take the full infinitive form of the verb (komen), so there is no '-t' to drop!
The translation says "Are you coming", but I don't see a word for "are". Where did it go?
Dutch generally does not use an "are ...-ing" form (the present continuous) the way English does. The single verb komen translates to both "come" and "are coming" depending on the context.
Why is morgen (tomorrow) placed before naar de stad (to the city)?
Dutch sentences prefer a "Time before Place" word order. Expressions of time (morgen) almost always come before expressions of place or destination (naar de stad). In English, we often put "tomorrow" at the very end of the sentence, but doing that in Dutch sounds unnatural.
