About ####
These are the small words which are often incorrectly used in a second language, especially when they are used idiomatically.
Note that “####” is a sub topic and you can also access more grade 10 notes, questions and answers under the main topic “####” which is one of the recommended learning topics in the South African Grade 10 Mathematics Curriculum.
A ‘voorsetsel’ often goes with a certain verb e.g. praat goes with met.
It is advisable to revise ‘voorsetsels’ as often as possible, as one gets a feeling for them with time and practice. They then become familiar, like ‘tables’ in Maths.
SOME GENERAL RULES:
exact time = om, approximate time = teen, on = aan, on top = op (t)op, te voet and te perd any vehicle = per (if there is no die or ‘n) e.g. Hy ry per motor maar Hy ry in die motor.
