Questions & Answers about Þau skoða afritið saman og senda síðan eintakið til kennarans.

Why does the sentence start with þau? Does it just mean they?

Yes. Þau is the third-person plural pronoun, so here it means they.

A learner often notices that Icelandic has three plural forms:

• þeir = they for a masculine group
• þær = they for a feminine group
• þau = they for a neuter group, a mixed group, or sometimes children / unspecified people

So þau is not random: it tells you something about the group being referred to.

Why isn’t þau repeated before senda?

Because the same subject continues across both verbs.

The structure is basically:

• Þau skoða ...
• og senda síðan ...

This works like English They examine ... and then send .... Icelandic often omits the repeated subject in the second part when it is clearly the same subject.

You could repeat it for emphasis or clarity in some contexts, but it is not necessary here.

Are skoða and senda both present tense?
