Past events in sequence
Retell events with short past clauses. Begynde → begyndte, falde → faldt, skrige → skreg, røre → rørte are useful here.
If a time or sequence phrase starts a main clause, keep verb-second order: , .
A question still places the verb before the subject:
Koncerten begyndte klokken otte.The concert started at eight.
Noget faldt ned.Something fell down.
Jeg skreg i mørket.I screamed in the dark.
Noget rørte ved mit ben.Something touched my leg.
Så gik jeg hjem.Then I went home.
Hvad skete der?What happened?
