Tips for Delprøve 1
- Listen for the question word first — it tells you what kind of answer is expected.
- Answer in full sentences: "Jeg hedder...", "Jeg bor i...", "Jeg arbejder som..."
- Hvad questions expect a thing or description. Hvor expects a place or amount. Hvornår expects a time.
- Yes/no questions (Er du...? Har du...? Kan du...?) — answer with "Ja,..." or "Nej,..." and add a short explanation.
- Practise aloud! The real test is oral — reading silently is not enough.
