Questions & Answers about Wij delen er vaak een mooie herinnering.
Why does er come before vaak in this sentence?
What is the difference between using er and daar here?
In this sentence, er is the unstressed version of daar. You use er when the location is already known and just part of the background. If you wanted to emphasize the place ("We share a beautiful memory THERE"), you would use the stressed word daar instead.
Could I move er to the very beginning of the sentence?
You cannot start a sentence with er when it simply refers to a location like "there". If you want to put the location in the first position for emphasis, you must use daar: Daar delen wij vaak een mooie herinnering.
Why is it mooie and not mooi? Doesn't the word een usually mean we drop the -e?
