Verb second: I dag jobber jeg

In a Norwegian statement the conjugated verb is always the second element. If the sentence starts with something other than the subject, the subject moves behind the verb:

• Jeg reiser i morgen. → I morgen reiser jeg. (Tomorrow I'm travelling.)
• After time and place phrases: i dag, nå, om sommeren, her, i Norge
• After adverbs: derfor, heldigvis, dessverre, etterpå, da (then)
• After question words: hvor, hva, når, hvorfor, hvordan
• After a whole subordinate clause: Når jeg kommer hjem, lager jeg middag.

The conjunctions og, men, eller, for do not count as an element. After them the subject usually comes first (Jeg har ferie, og jeg reiser til Bergen.), but if another word starts the clause, the verb is still second: og derfor trener jeg.
