Verbs - general

Dutch verbs can, like the English ones, be divided intoregular and irregular verbs (for experts: to keep it simple,I'm skipping the weak/strong division). I'll give you theregularities and than the irregularities for each tense.

But before that, something about the used tenses. SpeakingDutch, you'll basically need four of them:

present tense            - onvoltooid tegenwoordige tijd (ott)past tense               - onvoltooid verleden tijd (vtt)present perfect tense    - voltooid tegenwoordige tijd (ovt)past perfect tense       - voltooid verleden tijd (vvt)

Please note that the first two are used in much more casesthan in English. When you're a beginner you could restrictyourself for quite a while to using only those. You could forexample just use 'ik zie haar' in situations where you woulduse the English (more specific) phrases:
- I see her
- I am seeing her
- I will be seeing her
- I'm going to see her
