Questions & Answers about De checklist is te lang om de klantvriendelijkheid snel te beoordelen.
Does this sentence use the krijgen te + infinitive structure from the current lesson?
No, it doesn't! While your current lesson focuses on phrases like krijgen te horen (to get to hear), this sentence uses the om ... te (in order to) structure. Both use te + infinitive, but om ... te expresses a purpose or a consequence (like "too long to..."), whereas krijgen te is specifically for receiving information or a task.
What grammar structure connects te lang and te beoordelen?
This sentence uses the te ... om te structure, which translates to "too [adjective] to [verb]". Just like in English ("too long to evaluate"), you place te before the adjective (lang) and put the resulting action inside an om ... te clause at the end of the sentence.
Why is snel placed right before te beoordelen?
In an om ... te clause, all the extra information (like the object de klantvriendelijkheid and the adverb snel) is sandwiched between om and the te + infinitive. The adverb snel goes as close to the verb as possible because it directly modifies how the evaluating is done.
How do you break down the long word klantvriendelijkheid?
It is a compound noun made of three parts: klant (customer), vriendelijk (friendly), and the suffix -heid (-ness). Words ending in -heid refer to a state or quality, and they are always de words.
