Derefter han er ikke vegetar

"Derfor er han ikke vegetar", -therefore he is not a vegetarian.

Why use kun and not bare?

[Olivia263610]

I have used the English "ing" form or gerund previously for translating 'spiser' to mean 'is eating', but now that is incorrect?

[tvindy]

It can be either. It depends on context.

[awefulwaffle]

"He is eating only meat" and "He is only eating meat" are in the present continuous verb tense. These sentences expresses the action that he is doing now.

"He eats only meat" and "He only eats meat" are in the simple present verb tense. They express that he has the habit of eating only meat.

Sorry, I don't know how the English sentences relate to the Danish sentence.

In longer, more complex English sentences, the position of "only" can change the meaning/emphasis of the sentence.
