What is Sv1TOMPv2I?
STOMPI is the basic structure of an Afrikaans
sentence. How often does the following
happen? You write a sentence and your teacher
complains that the sentence structure is wrong?
Yet you don’t know why??
Die man het sy kar gister in die motorhuis parkeer.
Die man het gister sy kar in die motorhuis parkeer.
Let’s look at the following two sentences:
Which of the following two sentences makessense? Both
Which of the following two sentences areregarded correct syntactically?Only the second one
Sv1TOMPv2I is an English shortcut that helps you tounderstand and recognise the Afrikaans sentencestructure. But let us first investigate what each of theSTOMPI letters stand for.
But why?The time is always positioned at the beginning ofthe sentence right after the first verb, while theplace is always placed almost at the end of thesentence right in front of the second
Sv1TOMPv2I is used when you work with a
sentence in Afrikaans. It helps you to
understand the structure better because
you break it down into understandable
pieces.
Let’s look at the following table:
What does Sv1TOMPv2I stand for?
Infinitive I
Subject S
Verb 1 v1
Time T
Object O
Manner M
Place P
Verb 2 v2
STOMPI is really starting to look familiar!
Thought I do accept that for something to
look familiar, does not necessarily make it
easy or understandable. Let’s look at
STOMPI more closely.
How do you identify the differentparts of Sv1TOMPv2I in a sentence?
Afrikaans and Mathematics has a lot incommon. Formulas are also used in Afrikaansto better understand and remember the rules.It’s no longer a case that you either understand
the work or not.
The STOMPI-method can help you to get to theright answer or, if you choose, test if you have
the right answer.
See if you can answer thefollowing questions:
• How do I know what the subject is?
• How do I identify the verbs?
• How do I distinguish between the differentadverbs?
• What is the difference between the subjectand the object?
If you knew STOMPIyou could haveanswered the
questions quite easily!
Let’s look at thedifferent parts of
STOMPI on their own!
Subject❑ Usually stands in the beginning of the sentence.❑ The subject is that what the sentence is all
about.❑ Die subject answers the WHO/WHAT question.
Die seun het gister sy rugbybal hardoor die pale geskop om te oefen.
DIE SEUN
verb 1❑ It’s the first verb in the sentence.❑ The first verb is divided into two groups:❑ Present tense: Main verb of the sentence. There is
no second verb.❑ Past and future tense: the first verb is the helping
verb in the two different tenses.❑ Past: HET, WOU, SOU, KON, MOES.❑ Future: SAL, WIL, KAN, MOET
Die seun het gister sy rugbybal hardoor die pale geskop om te oefen.
HET
Time
❑ Any indication of time.❑ The time answers the WHEN question.
Die seun het gister sy rugbybal hardoor die pale geskop om te oefen.
GISTER
Object❑ The object is that which it being done.❑ What VERB’s the SUBJECT?❑ The answer to this question is the object.❑ The subject and the object looks the same, this
is only because they swop positions in theActive and Passive voice.sy
rugbybalDie seun het gister sy rugbybal hard
oor die pale geskop om te oefen.
Manner❑ The MANNER answers the HOW question.
How is it being done.❑ The MANNER is an adjective (byvoeglike
naamwoord) or adverb (bywoord).❑ The describing word can be put into degrees
of comparison.
HARDDie seun het gister sy rugbybal hard
oor die pale geskop om te oefen.
Place❑ The Place answers the WHERE question.❑ The PLACE always has a preposition
(voorsetsel), it is the preposition that givesaway the place.
❑ Voorsetsels: IN, AAN, AGTER, BY, BO, LANGS,MET, NA, ONDER, OM, OOR, OP, TEEN, UIT,VOOR, ens.
OOR DIE PALE
Die seun het gister sy rugbybal hardoor die pale geskop om te oefen.
verb 2❑ The second verb of the sentence.❑ The present tense sentence does not have a
second verb.❑ The second verb is the main verb in the past and
future tense sentences.❑ The past tense verb usually has a “ge” in front of
the word.
GESKOPDie seun het gister sy rugbybal hard
oor die pale geskop om te oefen.
Infinitive❑ The infinitive answers the WHY question.❑ The infinitive is actually the easiest to identify.❑ Everything from OM…TE… to the end of the
sentence is the infinitive. The infinitive gives youthe reason for what is said in the beginning ofthe sentence.
OM TE OEFENDie seun het gister sy rugbybal hard
oor die pale geskop om te oefen.
Let us look at the followingexample:
Die seun het gister sy rugbybal
hard oor die pale geskop om te
oefen.
