FORMAL SITUATIONS
we are going to learn a formal version of
'je'-OR- in English 'You'
You (FORMAL) = u
This is used for formal situations, to pay
respect to Older people and in formal
situations can be represented as for 'all of
you'
Please note 'Jullie' is a informal
representation of 'you all'
Last thing you (formal situations 'U')
always has a 't' ending.
For example;
P.S as Dutch is an informal society so
you'll hear more often the informal forms.

effect

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 didnt 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 couldnt 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

Rule:- Wading into the Past [PAST TENSE]

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
Thats when this Wading into the Past rule applies

However the most commonly used form is Diving and whenever in doubt simply use
