About Grade 6 Afrikaans
Still First Additional Language, but the passages are longer and the structures harder than in Grade 5.
The double negative gets the most attention, because it is the single most common error in the paper. Afrikaans usually needs two nies, and the second one always closes the sentence: Ek gaan nie skool toe nie.
The other trap is word order. After omdat the verb moves to the end of the clause (omdat sy siek wás), but after want it does not (want sy wás siek). Both mean 'because', and the paper tests exactly that difference.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Afrikaans need two nies?
It is a feature of the language's sentence structure, and it is what separates Afrikaans from Dutch and English. The closing nie always comes last, even in a long sentence, and leaving it out is marked wrong.
What is the difference between want and omdat?
Both mean 'because', but the word order differs. … want sy wás siek keeps normal order; … omdat sy siek wás pushes the verb to the end. It is a favourite question.
How do Afrikaans degrees of comparison work?
Add -er for the comparative and -ste for the superlative: groot, groter, grootste. The irregular ones to learn are goed (goed, beter, beste) and baie (baie, meer, meeste).
Are these the same questions as in our PDF papers?
No. These are separate, original questions and passages covering the same CAPS content.
