TRUE OR FALSE
Danish has ‘ad’ and ‘af’ that both translate roughly to the English ** ‘THEN.’ **
FALSE
They both translate roughly to the English ‘OF.’
They are also pronounced almost or exactly the same. There is a clear tendency in modern Danish usage towards the disappearance of ‘ad.’
TRUE OR FALSE
** ‘AD’ ** is used to describe a direction along, through, or towards something, and can often be eliminated in the English translation.
TRUE
Example:
‘Jeg går ned ad gaden’ means ‘I’m walking down (along) the street.’
