Questions & Answers about Ons gaan die monteerinstruksies en onderdelelys na.

Is gaan here the future marker, like are going to in English?

No. In this sentence, gaan is not a future marker. It is the finite part of the separable verb nagaan, which means to check, to go through, or to inspect.

So:

• Ons gaan die monteerinstruksies en onderdelelys na. = We check / go through the assembly instructions and parts list.

Compare that with a real future construction:

• Ons gaan die monteerinstruksies en onderdelelys nagaan. = We are going to check the assembly instructions and parts list.

That difference is very important:

• gaan ... na = present-tense form of nagaan
• gaan nagaan = future construction with gaan
  • infinitive

Why is na all the way at the end of the sentence?
