Questions & Answers about We zullen morgen hier de kans krijgen.

Why is the verb krijgen at the very end of the sentence?

This is the standard rule for auxiliary (helping) verbs in Dutch! The conjugated verb zullen (will) takes the second position in the sentence, while the main action verb in its full infinitive form, krijgen (to get), gets pushed all the way to the end.

Why does morgen come before hier?

In Dutch sentence structure, time words generally come before place words. A handy rule of thumb to remember is 'Time, Manner, Place' (TMP). Therefore, the time (morgen) must come before the place (hier).

Can I use krijgen for any meaning of the English word 'to get'?

No, you have to be careful here! In Dutch, krijgen strictly means 'to receive' or 'to be given' something. You cannot use it to mean 'to fetch' (which is halen) or 'to become' (which is worden). Here, you are receiving an opportunity, so krijgen is perfect.

Does de kans mean a random chance or an opportunity?

It can mean both, but in this context, it translates best to 'the opportunity'. You can also use de kans to talk about probability, such as de kans op regen (the chance of rain).
