Big idea: V2 word order (and ‘verb-last’ in subordinate clauses): Main clause (V2)

Dutch keeps the finite verb 2nd in main clauses, but pushes it to the end in many subordinate clauses.

Main clause (V2)

Both are correct: the verb stays 2nd.

Ik ga vandaag naar huis.

I go home today.

Vandaag ga ik naar huis.

Today I go home.
