Danish grammar
The V2 rule
| V2 means the finite verb must be the second element in a Danish main clause. One thing may stand first (subject, time, place, object, a whole phrase) – the finite verb still comes next. This keeps sentences clear and rhythmic. | |

| Pattern: [First position] - Finite verb - Subject - (Central adverbial, e.g., ikke/ofte) - (Rest) |
