Episode description
In Norwegian language there is a slight change in word order every time you have a subclause with an adverb.
Ex:
Det er ikke regn. (Normal sentence)
Hun sykler fordi det ikke er regn. (Subclause with "fordi")
The rule is this:
1. subjunksjon (hvis, at, fordi.. osv.)
2. subjekt (person/ting)
3. adverb (ikke, ofte, sjelden, aldri etc.)
4. verb
Fill-ins:
Marco sier ............................... (han - sykler - aldri - at).
Britt drar på ferie ............................... (hun - er - syk - ikke - hvis).
Butikken stenger ............................... (det - er - kunder - ikke - fordi).
..
Great work! :))
