Usages of setningin
Við horfum á stutt myndband um íslensku og endurtökum setningarnar saman.
We watch a short video about Icelandic and repeat the sentences together.
Setningin er skýr.
The sentence is clear.
Kennarinn leiðréttir setningarnar mínar strax.
The teacher corrects my sentences immediately.
Ef þetta er spurning, þarf setningin spurningarmerki en ekki punkt.
If this is a question, the sentence needs a question mark and not a period.
Í löngu setningunni finn ég frumlagið fyrst, en andlagið seinna.
In the long sentence I find the subject first, but the object later.
Ég set kommu á réttan stað og punkt í lok setningarinnar.
I put the comma in the right place and a period at the end of the sentence.
Hvernig sem setningin byrjar, þarf hún að enda á punkti.
However the sentence begins, it has to end with a period.
Getið þér sagt mér hvort þessi setning sé rétt, eða á ég að breyta henni aftur?
Could you tell me whether this sentence is correct, or should I change it again?
Greinamerkin í setningunni eru ekki rétt.
The punctuation in the sentence is not correct.
Settu spurningarmerkið í lok setningarinnar.
Put the question mark at the end of the sentence.
Forsetningin í þessari setningu er ekki rétt.
The preposition in this sentence is not correct.
Sögnin í þessari setningu er í þátíð.
The verb in this sentence is in the past tense.
Ég undirstrika nafnorðið í setningunni.
I underline the noun in the sentence.
Kennarinn segir að frumlagið sé ekki alltaf fyrst í setningunni.
The teacher says that the subject is not always first in the sentence.
Ég undirstrika andlagið í setningunni.
I underline the object in the sentence.
