Questions & Answers about Jy sal sien hoe ek my plan probeer verander in hierdie resep.
Why is sal used here?
In Afrikaans, sal is the future tense auxiliary verb. It shows that something will happen in the future; in this case, that you will see something.
How does hoe function in this sentence?
Hoe here means "how" and introduces a subordinate clause. It makes the phrase hoe ek my plan probeer verander function as the object of Jy sal sien, explaining how I try to change my plan.
Why is there no om te after probeer?
In Afrikaans, probeer is typically followed by the short infinitive without te. So you say probeer verander instead of probeer om te verander. Both forms exist, but the short infinitive is very common and completely correct.
Why is the word order hoe ek my plan probeer verander rather than hoe ek probeer my plan verander?
Afrikaans favors placing the object (my plan) before the main verb (verander) in a subordinate clause introduced by hoe. The verb cluster (probeer verander) often remains together, resulting in hoe ek my plan probeer verander.
What does in hierdie resep refer to?
In hierdie resep provides context for where or in which situation the plan is being changed. It tells us that the action of attempting to change the plan happens specifically in this recipe.
