Questions & Answers about Vi skriver aldrig spørgsmål i bogen.

Why is aldrig placed directly after skriver in this sentence?

In Danish main clauses, the finite verb (such as skriver) typically comes first, followed by adverbs like aldrig. This word order helps indicate that the action (writing) never takes place.

Is spørgsmål in the sentence singular or plural?

The word spørgsmål can serve as both the singular and plural form in Danish. It’s context (and possibly the article or a numeral) that tells you whether one question or multiple questions are intended.

How come i bogen is used and not another preposition?

The phrase i bogen literally means in the book and indicates location inside something. Danish uses i for being physically inside places or containers. If you wanted to say on the book, you would use på instead.

What if I wanted to say We do not write anything in the book instead of referring specifically to questions?

You could replace spørgsmål with noget (anything). The sentence would become Vi skriver aldrig noget i bogen, preserving the same word order and adverb placement but changing the object to a more general term.
