In the sentence Jeg ved, at han ikke kommer, where is ikke placed and why?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. before the verb kommer
- Step 1: The part after at is a subordinate clause. Step 2. In subordinate clauses ikke is placed before the finite verb. Answer: before kommer. Why not the others: The sentence is a statement, and the other placements apply to main clauses or are incorrect.
