Questions & Answers about Wij voeren morgen het plan uit.

Why is uit separated from voeren and placed at the end of the sentence?

Because uitvoeren is a separable verb. Such verbs have a prefix (uit-) and a root (voeren). In a main clause the finite part (voeren) occupies the second slot (after the subject), and the prefix (uit) “detaches” and moves to the very end:
• Wij (S) voeren (V) … uit (prefix).

What exactly is a separable verb and how do I recognize one?

A separable verb consists of a prefix + a base verb, for example:
• uit + voeren (to carry out)
• op + bellen (to call up/on)
• aankomen (to arrive, where aan is the prefix)
In dictionaries they’re usually listed as one word (uitvoeren). In main clauses you split them; in subordinate clauses you keep them together at the end (…dat wij het plan uitvoeren).

Why does the sentence use wij instead of we, or vice versa?

Both wij and we mean “we.”
• Wij is the stressed/emphatic form (used in contrasts or to add formality).
• We is the unstressed form (more common in everyday speech).
Example:
– “Wij voeren morgen het plan uit.” (emphasis)
– “We voeren morgen het plan uit.” (neutral)

Why is it het plan and not de plan?

Dutch nouns are either de-words (common gender) or het-words (neuter). Plan is a neuter noun, so it takes het: het plan.

Where can I place the time adverb morgen in this sentence?

Time adverbs in Dutch typically follow the finite verb (V2 order):

1. Wij voeren morgen het plan uit.
   You can also:
2. Start with the adverb: Morgen voeren wij het plan uit.
3. Or place it after the object (less common): Wij voeren het plan morgen uit.

How do I turn Wij voeren morgen het plan uit into a yes/no question?

Invert the finite verb and the subject, keeping the prefix at the end:
– Voeren we morgen het plan uit?
If you lead with morgen, it becomes:
– Morgen voeren we het plan uit?

Does morgen ever mean “morning,” and do I need to capitalize it?

In Dutch:
• morgen (lowercase) as an adverb means “tomorrow.”
• As a noun, de morgen means “the morning,” but it remains lowercase (Dutch doesn’t capitalize common nouns).
You only capitalize Morgen if it’s the first word of a sentence.
