    I wrote "het kind is een glaasje sap aan het drinken" and it said it's wrong. But it's literally what it means!! Why?

        Why is it 'het kind' instead of 'de kind' here?

                  It didn't for the question where I was given three options. Good to know its correct though, thanks

                    If it was a multiple choice question it is possible that:

                    • You may not have selected all correct answers
                    • You may have missed a mistake in a sentence you selected

                      Glaasje sap means a small glass of juice right ? If i want to say a normal size of glass, would it be glaas sap ?

                      Why is glas spelt with one a while glaasje is spelt with two?
