What are common irregular perfect forms in Dutch?
Here is a short table of some common irregular verbs in Dutch and their perfect forms:
Infinitive | Past Participle | English Translation |
---|---|---|
gaan | gegaan | gone |
zijn | geweest | been |
hebben | gehad | had |
weten | geweten | known (knowledge) |
kennen | gekend | known (familiarity) |
geven | gegeven | given |
moeten | gemoeten | had to |
Notes:
- Gaan (to go) and zijn (to be) use zijn as the auxiliary verb in the perfect tense.
- The verbs kennen (to know someone or something) and weten (to know facts or information) have different past participles and slightly different meanings.
- These verbs are irregular, meaning their past participles do not follow the regular -d or -t ending rules. Learning them requires memorization and practice.
