Dutch Verb Table, Chapter 4/5
Chapter 4: The irregular verbs
The fourth chapter contains the irregular verbs.
In addition to that some of the most common regular weak and strong verbs are contained.
The strong verbs are taken from the list of strong verbs (see appendix: list of strong verbs).
The following colour scheme is used for the verb conjugations shown here:
| - | regular conjugation: | black | |
| - | conjugation rule for strong verbs: | blue | |
| - | other conjugation rule (IX to XVI): | green | |
| - | irregular conjugation: | brown |
- The "regular conjugations" are conjugation rules, that are applicable to all verbs.
- "conjugation rule for strong verbs" are describing the building forms for Indicatief - Onvoltooid verleden tijd "OVT" (Past") as well as Voltooid Deelwoord (Past Participle) of the respective strong verbs.
- Differences in the conjugation forms caused by systematic irregularities like e.g. "avoiding double consonants" or "'t kofschip" are shown as "other conjugation rules (IX to XVI)".
- The naming "irregular conjugation" eventually refers to differences from the conjugation rules that do only apply for that very one verb. These are the "real" irregular verbs.
- Note:
Regarding building rules for strong verbs and "other conjugation rules", refer to Verb irregularities. - Note 2:
Verbs that are following the rules of groups 1 (ij-ee-e) and 2a/2b (ie-oo-o / ui-oo-o), are detected automatically by Verbtime and are thus not all contained in the list below. Examples for these verbs are:
- Group 1: ij-ee-e: blijven, bleef, gebleven - building rules
- Group 2a: ie-oo-o: bieden, bood, geboden - building rules
- Group 2b: ui-oo-o: sluiten, sloot, gesloten - building rules
