Dutch Sentence Structure – Part 2: Closed & Open Questions

Dutch Sentence Structure – Part 2: Closed & Open Questions

An NT2 workbook for A0–A2 learners

Asking questions in Dutch seems simple until you realize the word order works completely differently from English. This workbook tackles exactly that: how to correctly form closed (yes/no) questions and open questions, straight to the point.

This 15-page workbook teaches you the difference between closed and open questions, how inversion works when asking questions, and the two different word order patterns for open questions. Depending on whether your question word (like waar or wanneer) stands alone, or attaches directly to a noun (like welke jas or hoeveel appels).

Includes 8 varied exercises:

• sentence transformation
• word order recognition
• translation
• building your own questions

Plus a complete answer key.
