Dutch/Lesson 11A

Remarks

 * 1) Notice begon te hagelen. Expressions with the extended infinitive with te often act as a little abridged phrase in their own right. There are essentially three phrases here, not two. This explains why begon does not move all the way to the end, although it does move behind plotseling, i.e. as far as it can in the middle of the three phrases.
 * 2) Notice morgen stays before gaat het and eigenlijk is no longer at the beginning, but hij is and the inversion is lifted.  rearranges the whole order.  does not.

Translation

 * I need a toothbrush, for I want to brush my teeth.
 * He had to turn right, because the hotel was in that street.
