Where does the Danish negation ikke (not) normally stand in a main clause?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. after the finite verb
- Step 1: Danish ikke follows the verb in a main clause: Han kommer ikke. Step 2. In subordinate clauses it comes before the verb. Answer: after the finite verb. Why not the others: The other positions are not the rule.
