Hello, I have a question about -toki. Can we use -toki both for past and present, or is always present. ピックアップのとき。 Could this only be translated as [when he had the picknick], or could it also be used for a future picknick as in らいしゅうのピックアップのとき? thank you for your help. Erik

こにちは、 what is the difference between these two sentences_ みに　いきたい　です。 いって　みたい　です。 do they both mean * I would like to go and see*, or is there a difference in meaning? Thank you, Erik

de nieuwe grammatica: Hij is groter dan ik vs hij is groter als ik. Both are correct!! New grammar rules were put in place this week. And Dutch has just gotten a bit easier! Not only did the The ´hen vs hun´ situation became less complicated. They are now both accepted as correct regardless of whether they are direct or indirect object (see my other post). Now you can also use ´als´ with comparatives instead of ´dan´. Last week the situation was as follows. 1.hij is groter dan ik. 2. hij is even groot als ik. Staring this week, sentence 1 and 2 are still correct. But also sentence 3 is considered correct Dutch. 3.hij is groter als ik. The new rules are taking the official grammar closer to how Dutch is actually used by native speakers. And I am all for it. Grammar should discribe how language is actually used instead of telling people what they should do.

De nieuwe grammatica: Hen of hun? Both are correct! New grammar rules were put in place this week. And the good news is that you don´t have to worry anymore about the difference between ´hen´ (for direct object) and ´hun´ (for indirect object). Last week this sentence was wrong: 1,Ik heb hen een boek gegeven. the correct sentence was: 2.Ik heb hun een boek gegeven. Since this week, both sentence 1 and 2 are correct. Kindly note that the possessive adjective is always ´hun´, not hen. de fiets van de kinderen = hun fiets. (Hen fiets does not exist)

Hi, I came across these two sentences. 1.ホセさんはこうえんでこどもとあそびました。 2.あべさんはともだちとびじゅつかんにいきました. In sentence number 1, I have Subject + place + object in sentence number 2,the structure is subject + object + place. Are both structures ok? Could I also say ホセさんはこどもとこうえんであそびました. and あべさんはびじゅつかんにともだちといきました。 Thank you for your help. Erik

subjuntivo pasado o futuro? Oi, estava fazendo ejercicios e fiquei com uma duvido sobre o uso do subjuntivo. Encontrei os proximos phrases e eu não entendo porque não se usa o subjontivo futuro. Eu vou chamar o mecanico para que ele resolva o problema. (ele vai resolver a problema no futuro, então porque não usar ´resolver´) mesma coisa aqui. Dizer a eles que não leiam esses livros só induzirá que procurem esses livros. (eu achava que procurarem era a solução por ser no futuro) Em outros phrases sempre é presente com subj. presente pasado com o subj. pasado. e.g. ninguem me impede que eu faça o que quero ele abriu a porta para que eu entrasse. muito obrigado pelo sua ajuda.

o velho livro vs o livro velho Qual é o ordem das adjectivas. Sempre estam en frente do substantivo o tambem é possivel porlas atras. Posso dizer o livro velho o preciso de dezir o velho livro_ obrigado, Erik
