I could not wait till the end of this video to write my comment: you made this difficult rule so clear! My Belgian school insists on speaking only Nederlands, so I never understood what do they really mean, I had to memorise!! Now I get it. your secret formula is comparing with the English language then displaying many examples, well done. Dank U wel.
this was so helpful! thankyou! It gave me time to listen to your explanation and then apply my knowledge by working out the questions. Keep up the great work!
The verb 'doen' is irregular. It conjugates like this: PRESENT TENSE: ik doe hij doet wij doen PAST PARTICIPLE gedaan (Example sentence: "Ik heb niets gedaan.")
"I have worked" and "I worked" are used in different situations in English because they have different nuances. Is it the same between "ik heb gewerkt" and "ik werkte" ?
Deze heb ik nog niet. Learning irregulars is mostly memorizing, I'm afraid. If you look at the list of irregulars, you can see some verbs working in a similar way, so it can help to try to put them into groups according to your own logic. Hope that helps. 😬
Thank you, I'm from Ireland learning Dutch, your explanations are very clear and accurate. Just one question. What are the best Dutch news stations to listen to?
@@cleardutchgrammar8904 Bedankt voor je hulp, ik zal naar dat radiostation luisteren. Je bent trouwens heel mooi, heb je een vriendje? Ik was in Januari in Amsterdam, we hadden elkaar kunnen ontmoeten voor een kopje thee of koffie en een praatje.
Dankjewel! Correct, gegeven doesn't follow the rules, so therefor it is irregular. Unfortunately there are quite some of those stubborn irregular verbs that don't to follow our rules, haha.
Your way of explaining is very helpfull . You should make more videos . And also if you can one day make a video about how to use the Wq+ever of english into dutch . I would be very thankfull. Because it is hard to find about that on youtube. You can take( whatever ) you want (Whoever )went there is fine by me You can choose (wichever) you want I know already how to use wie ) hoe wanneer etc but not the ones of the english language with wq + ever . Thanks for this video though
I guess it depends on the student and their language background which of those is easier to remember. The x is indeed missing in Soft Ketchup. In my lessons I just mention it, but normally at level B1 the only verb with an x that comes up is 'mixen'. ;)
Aren’t you gonna tell wor how and why for some of a few of wor past particles in Dutch make wor use “zijn”? Like if I wanna say; “I’ve been to Gateshead” Why is it; “Ik ben naar Gateshead geweest”? Is it because it IS “to be” that’s I’ve been to Gateshead? XD You’ve heard of Gateshead before haven’t you? Newcastle’s Southern neighbour across the river Tyne! XD And I’m from Sunderland! XD
I was thinking of doing a separate video about that, but in the end it actually comes down to memorizing a list of verbs that always take zijn and a few other cases.. so I'm not yet sure what to do with that to be honest. :p
