A weak verb: if the stem of the infinitive ends in t, k, f, s, ch or p (remember ’t kofschip), the past takes -te and the participle -t, otherwise -de and -d: belde, aangebeld. → Werkte or woonde: the regular imperfect
Every sentence comes from this course’s word lists or grammar topics. The verb form is highlighted, and the line below says which tense and person it is.
De bezorger heeft aangebeld.The delivery man rang the bell.
aangebeld — voltooid deelwoord
Ik bel aan, maar niemand doet open.I ring the bell, but nobody answers.
The forms are calculated from the rules of the language — twice, in two independent ways — and checked against every hand-written form in this course. The example sentences are the course’s own.
