Questions & Answers about Ons het 'n dag gelede die skedule nagegaan.
Afrikaans usually expresses past actions with the perfect tense, not with a simple past form the way English often does.
So:
Ons het ... nagegaan = We checked / We have checked ...
- het is the auxiliary verb
- nagegaan is the past participle
In everyday Afrikaans, this is the normal way to say that someone checked something in the past.
That is standard Afrikaans word order in a main clause with the perfect tense.
The pattern is:
subject + het + other information + past participle
So here:
- Ons = subject
- het = auxiliary
- 'n dag gelede die skedule = the rest of the information
- nagegaan = past participle at the end
This is very common in Afrikaans:
- Ek het dit gesien.
- Hulle het gister vertrek.
- Ons het die skedule nagegaan.
