Grammar Guru: Verb Placement in Afrikaans

In Afrikaans, the verb usually comes in the second position in a sentence, right after the subject. This is important to remember when expressing emotions as the verb indicating the feeling should be placed after the subject. For example, “Ek is bly” (I am happy).
