DUTCH GRAMMAR • DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS The Dutch demonstrative pronouns are: dit (this), deze (this, these), dat (that), and die (that, those).

DUTCH GRAMMAR • AUXILIARY VERBS An auxiliary verb is a verb that supports another verb. It is derived from the Latin word auxilium, meaning help or aid. A sentence can contain more than one auxiliary verb. In Dutch, we often need to place one or two extra words between the auxiliary verb and the independent verb: many auxiliary verbs require the DUTCH GRAMMAR • THE IMPERATIVE The verb zijn has an irregular imperative. Instead of ben (1st person singular), we use the stem of the verb wezen (an oldfashioned form of zijn) : Wees stil! Be quiet! If you want to be polite, you can use the present tense of the more formal 2nd person. If you use the polite imperative, you have to DUTCH GRAMMAR • DAT (THAT, WHICH) Het concept, dat door mijn collega is bedacht, is een groot succes geworden.: The concept, which was designed by my colleague, turned out to be a great success. Het vliegtuig, dat voor elke vlucht streng gecontroleerd wordt, verloor tijdens het opstijgen een wiel.: The airplane, which is scrutinously checked before each flight, lost a wheel during take-off. DUTCH GRAMMAR • ER, HIER, AND DAAR (EHD) Going from left to right, we will begin with e r/ h ier/ d aar, or using the first letters of these words: EHD. It will not come as a surprise that er, hier and daar are the only three words that we can use for this component. Sitting at the beginning of the middle part, they can be used in different ways: . location. replacing a pronoun. DUTCH GRAMMAR • USING THE CONDITIONAL is not considered proper English: We cannot use the conditional tense on both sides of the comma.
