We are repeating it I am not repeating it I wanted to repeat it Could you just(please) repeat that What are you saying To hope = hopen I hope = ik hop dat I think = ik denk dat I hope Rule:- Hop/denk + dat rule – In Dutch when using Hop/Denk, dat must be added and also ‘dat’ has the ‘omdat’ effect rule and throws all the verbs to the end In Dutch when using ‘hop’ you must add ‘dat’ in the sentence. It is a must In English we can/ or cannot use it however in DUTCH ‘dat’ is a must I hope = ik hop dat I hope you are ok = ik hop dat je is goed Since this ‘dat’ is in the middle it also has the ‘Omdat’ effect. I hope that I can do it I hope that we can come Rule:- Splittable Verb rule – This can be splitted Join in = mee doen Join in = mee doen I hope that I can join in/ that I can do things with you I hope he is coming tomorrow Rule:- Splittable Verb rule – This can be splitted Come along = mee komen Come along = mee komen We hope that we can come along later Easy = makkelijk Difficult = moeilijk This is difficult This is not difficult

We have been using it in a sense ‘I find it’ however many cases when we say ‘ I think’ we use ‘denken’ I think = ik denk I think that they wont come Now once again ‘with denken’ we need ‘dat’ and once again this ‘dat’ has ‘omdat’ effect Rule: ‘Trigger Verb’ rule which throws all the verbs next to it to the end I think he is already here I think she knows it I think she knows it already I hope that he can come along tonight To sit = zitten I am sitting here She is sitting there-ORShe is sitting over there In dutch this is very strong.

EQV – ik wil graag dat We want [DUTCH. EQV – we willen dat Once ‘dat’ is placed – it also has the ‘Omdat’ effect and sends all the verbs to the end I want you to do it [DUTCH. EQV – I want that you do it] So ‘dat’ has the ‘Omdat’ effect also I want you to go out [DUTCH. EQV – I want that you go out] I want you to phone/call me [DUTCH.

Rule:Could have been = would have (Had/hadden) + Kunnen Been = zijn The food could have been better Rule:Should have = had/hadden + moeten Been = zijn The food should have been warmer The food could have been warmer The food should have been better To wait = wachten The waiting = Het wachten (‘t word) Be = zijn The waiting can be boring Rule:Masculine, Feminine and Neuter gender and other types ‘Het’, ‘de’ words. Het huis Het boek Het glass And all the words that end in ‘je’ are ‘het’ words Het katje Het boekje The Day = De dag Nice little day = Het dagje The house = Het huis A little huis = het huisje Plurals:All the plurals take ‘de’ and when there is more than ‘one’ Het words Het De boek boeken Het huis De huizen Het kat De katen Het De katjes katje De words All the words ending in ‘tie’ are also ‘de’ words De combinatie De Informatie De operatie De situatie De reputatie De All the words ending in ‘ing’ are also ‘de’ words De woning (To live) The combination was good Rule:Now ‘it’ [het] can also refer to ‘de’ word so In Dutch when that happens ‘hij’ is used

to describe it. In this context ‘Hij’ does not refer to person/he. E.g It(‘t) was good = [when refers to ‘de’ word] => [Dutch EQV. Hij was goed] It must be goed (it means ‘de combinatie) Bad = slecht To become/To get = worden The situation is becoming bad It is becoming bad (it means ‘de situatie) ‘To Be’ (geweest) Diving Board (PAST) To get/To become [geworden] The situation has become bad Rule: When you want to say something ‘belongs’ In dutch you say ‘of’ – van It is mine/ it’s mine/ or simply mine [DUTCH. EQV – it is of me] Is the cat yours It (referes here to ‘de kat) is mine But I don’t want it ( ‘it’ refers here to ‘de kat’ – hij) [DUTCH.

It is the kat that I saw ‘To have’ [hebben] Diving Board (PAST) To see = zien [PRESENT TENSE] Saw/seen = gezien [PAST TENSE] This also fits in the ‘Geven’ box Kitten = het Katje Rule:- Concept of ‘dat’ ------Het Words Here we use ‘dat’ for ‘het words’ and Once ‘dat’ is placed – it also has the ‘Omdat’ effect and sends all the verbs to the end It is the kitten that I saw ‘To have’ [hebben] Diving Board (PAST) To buy = kopen [PRESENT TENSE] Bought = gekocht[PAST TENSE] Rule:Now ‘it’ [het] can also refer to ‘de’ word so In Dutch when that happens ‘hij’ is used to describe it. In this context ‘Hij’ does not refer to person/he. The car = De Auto When did you buy it (it refers to ‘De Auto’) which becomes ‘Hij’ [DUTCH. EQV When did you buy him (de Auto)] ‘To have’ [hebben] Diving Board (PAST) To buy = kopen [PRESENT TENSE] Bought = gekocht[PAST TENSE] The car = De Auto Rule:- Concept of ‘die’ ------De Words With ‘De Words’ you must use ‘die’ Now ‘die’ has the same ‘Omdat’ effect and sends all the verbs to the end also It is the car that I bought Rule:- Concept of ‘die’ ------De Words Now when we use ‘de words’ such as ‘car’ and we say ‘That car’ we still cannot use ‘dat’ For all the ‘De Words’ – we always use ‘die’ instead of dat Examples below:That car is mine That cat is mine Is that kat yours Is that kat yours (you all) ‘To have’ [hebben] Diving Board (PAST) Have ‘had it’ = gehad[PAST TENSE] This is one of the very irregular verbs I have had it Why didn’t you have it I have always had good friends ‘To have’ [hebben] Diving Board (PAST) Have ‘had it’ = gehad[PAST TENSE] The chance = De kans Never = nooit I have never had the chance

‘To have’ [hebben] Diving Board (PAST) Have ‘had it’ = gehad[PAST TENSE] The chance = De kans Now = nu Better = beter Rule:- Concept of ‘die’ ------De Words With ‘De Words’ you must use ‘die’ Now ‘die’ has the same ‘Omdat’ effect and sends all the verbs to the end also The chance that we have now is better Rule: ‘e’ must be added This simply follows We hebben een geode kans We have a better chance Would have = had Wanted = Willen The Chance = De kans We would have wanted to have the chance Rule:Should have = would have = had/hadden + moeten We should have had the chance Rule:Could = would be able Could have = would have been able = had/hadden + Kunnen We could have had the chance To be allowed/been allowed = moggen Would have been allowed = = had/hadden + moggen We would have been allowed to have the chance The chance = De kans Rule:- Concept of ‘die’ ------De Words I want that chance Rule:All the words ending in ‘ing’ are also ‘de’ words E.g. To live (Accommodation/Residence) refers to Wonen = Woon To live = Wonen So it becomes = De woning New - Nieuw Rule:- Concept of ‘die’ ------De Words With ‘De Words’ you must use ‘die’ Now ‘die’ has the same ‘Omdat’ effect and sends all the verbs to the end also The accommodation that we have now is new

Rule:Now ‘it’ [het] can also refer to ‘de’ word so In Dutch when that happens ‘hij’ is used to describe it. In this context ‘Hij’ does not refer to person/he. It (De Woning/Accommodation) is new [DUTCH. EQV it (De Wonining) becomes ‘hij’ Hij is new] I like it (De Woning) -> becomes ‘Hij’ Like (find nice) It is a beautiful residence This is the new house I remember/ I know still = [Ik weet nog] I remember/ I remember it Rule: Concept of ‘When’ === Waneer/Toen In Dutch ‘When’ has two meanings Wanneer [which is a plain and simple ‘When’] Whenever/ and when ‘when’ is not a question word ‘when’ is used as in PAST Sense it becomes ‘toen’ e.g I remember when I remember When I was young [ik weet nog toen ik young was] And ‘toen’ also has the same omdat effect I remember when I had friends I remember when it was better To be able to = kon/kunnen Everything = Alles I rmemeber when he was able to do everything Wan to = Wil I want to do everything Wanted = Wilde/Wilden I wanted to do everything Wanted = Wilde/Wilden They wanted to do everything Rule:- Wading into the Past [PAST TENSE] ‘De’ or ‘den’ endings ‘Te’ or ‘ten’ endings Simply when diving into the past you add ‘de’ or ‘den’ and sometimes you add ‘te’ or ‘ten’ endings. e.g. ‘De’ or ‘den’ endings Wonen [PRESENT TENSE] = wonden [PAST TENSE] ====== for past we simply added ‘den’ belen[PRESENT TENSE] = belden [PAST TENSE] ====== for past we simply added ‘den’ proberen[PRESENT TENSE] = proberden [PAST TENSE] ====== for past we simply added ‘den’ ‘te’ or ‘ten’ endings wacht [PRESENT TENSE] = wachte [PAST TENSE] ====== for past we simply added ‘te’ [SINGULAR] wacht [PRESENT TENSE] = wachten [PAST TENSE] ====== for past we simply added ‘ten’ [PLURAL]

Pracitsing ‘De’ or ‘den’ endings Could = kon/konden We couldn’t do it To live= Wonen We live in Amsterdam Lived = Wonden We lived in Amsterdam Phoned/called = belden I often phoned/called him I often phoned/called him when he lived in Amsterdam Rule:- Wading into the Past [PAST TENSE] ‘De’ or ‘den’ endings I try I tried it often She tried it often Rule:- Wading into the Past [PAST TENSE] ‘te’ or ‘ten’ endings I am waiting I waited We waited Rule:- Wading into the Past [PAST TENSE] ‘De’ or ‘den’ endings ‘te’ or ‘ten’ endings When you are telling a story you are going to use this a lot e.g things you used to do or something that you did often That’s when this ‘Wading into the Past’ rule applies Choosing between the TWO TYPES OF PAST FORMS So now we have two rules to describe ‘PAST TENSE’ Diving [‘to have’ board] and [‘To be’ Board] Wading [‘de’ or ‘den’] and [‘te’ or ‘ten’] endings However the most commonly used form is Diving and whenever in doubt simply use Diving Rule:- Some Irregular forms for jumping into [PAST TENSE] Apart from above rules, we had some irregular forms for jumping into the PAST TENSE I could/ I was able [ik kon] We could/ we were able to [we konden] I had to [Ik moest] I was allowed to [ik mocht] I was allowed to do everything To get/ To become [getting/becoming] = worden Rule:- Some more Irregular forms for jumping into [PAST TENSE] To become [worden][PRESENT TENSE] = werd [PAST TENSE- Became] ====== we shifted a vowel here. Became [PAST TENSE] = Werd/Werden We became tired It was getting late/ It got late It became late Do you know why he got/became so tired Do you remember that it was

getting/becoming very late You remember that it was very late Below are the two examples where you have a choice how you going to jump into the past Diving Wading Let’s do both however when in doubt simply use ‘Diving’ ‘To have’ [hebben] Diving Board (PAST) Hebben + geleert We learnt a lot ading into the Past [PAST TENSE] Leerden We learnt a lot I waited for you yesterday I waited for you yesterday I waited and waited Rule: Irregular PAST TENSE FORMS Below are the most popular irregular [PAST TENSE FORMS] Kon Moest Mocht Werd Wilde Had Was To wash = wassen Trigger Verb: “Kan” So this will throw all the other verbs at the end Are you able to wash the car/ Can you wash the car Were = kon To be able to = Kunnen Trigger Verb: “Kan” So this will throw all the other verbs at the end Were you able to wash the car ‘To have’ [hebben] Diving Board (PAST) Heb/hebben + gewassen I have washed the car I have washed it (de auto) -> refers to Hij (hem) Rule: In Dutch there is a simple rule Is = Has been [In Dutch = is] Was = Had been[In Dutch = was] Will = will have been[In Dutch = zal] Would/was supposed to = would have been [In Dutch = zou] ‘To Be’ (geweest) Diving Board (PAST) It (de auto) is washed/ it (de auto) has been washed It (de auto) is already repaired/ it (de auto) has already been repaired It(de auto) was washed/ it(de auto) had
