Lesson#1
In this deck, you will learn how to connect your ideas using consequence and contrast in Dutch. We will explore three essential spoken words: 'dus', 'daarom', and 'toch'. You will see how they link clauses and how each one shapes your sentence word order.
Lesson#2
In spoken Dutch, 'dus' means 'so' or 'therefore'. It expresses a direct consequence and typically behaves like a coordinating conjunction, keeping normal subject and verb order. For example, 'Ik heb geen fiets, dus ik neem de bus' means 'I have no bicycle, so I take the bus'.
