Adverbial constructs are very consistent. They're often different from English, and take a bit of getting used to:
- Jeg tror snart, han kommer >> I think soon he's coming
- Jeg tror hellere, jeg vil have en kaffe >> I think rather I'd have a coffee.
- Jeg håber ikke, han kommer >> I hope not he's coming
(When speaking English, Danish speakers wil often say I don't hope he's coming).

Other adverbials include aldrig (never), ofte, tit (often), somme tider (sometimes), sjældent (seldom), snart (soon), etc. |
