Pronoun agreement Exercises in Danish language
Pronoun agreement is a fundamental aspect of mastering Danish, as it ensures that sentences are clear and coherent. In Danish, pronouns must agree with the nouns they replace in terms of gender, number, and definiteness. This means that the pronouns need to match the nouns they refer to, whether those nouns are masculine, feminine, neuter, singular, or plural. Understanding and practicing pronoun agreement will not only help you construct grammatically correct sentences but also enhance your overall fluency in the language.
