Questions & Answers about Overmorgen ga ik met mijn zussen naar de tandarts voor een controle.
Here comes question 1
The word overmorgen means the day after tomorrow in English. It’s used to talk about an event that will happen shortly but not the next day.
Here comes question 2
Ga ik literally translates to go I, but in Dutch the verb typically comes in the second position of the sentence. The sentence starts with overmorgen, so the verb comes next, followed by the subject ik. It’s just a common Dutch word order.
Here comes question 3
Zussen is the plural of zus (sister). So mijn zussen means my sisters.
Here comes question 4
Voor een controle means for a check-up or for a regular check. It implies a routine appointment, not necessarily because something is wrong.
