    so to form the question one must simply rearrange the pronoun and the verb

      Why is 'Heb ik de borden?' wrong?

            Same. Why not Ik heb borden? I feel dyslexic trying to learn dutch.

                In English, you use an auxiliary verb for questions. In Dutch, you don't. :)
                One of the things you cannot translate word-for-word.

                  Why is it rearranged?
