Placement of Dutch adverbs
The adverbs are mostly placed as closely after the finite verb as possible, but if you want to emphasize the adverb, you can start the sentence with that particular adverb.
When you use more than one adverb, the following sequence is most common in Dutch:
- time
- manner
- place
This means that adverbs of time come before adverbs of manner and place, but adverbs of manner come before adverbs of place.
Adverbs of time (gisteren, straks)
An adverb of time gives you information about when something takes place.
Examples:
- Hij ging gisteren naar de supermarkt. (Yesterday he went to the supermarket.)
- Ik ga straks werken. (I'm going to work later.)
Adverbs of manner (snel, goed)
An adverb of manner gives you information about the way in which something takes place.
Examples:
- Jullie willen graag betalen. (You would like to pay.)
- Hij danst mooi. (He dances beautifully.)
Adverbs of place (hier, daar)
Adverbs of place provide information about where something takes place.
Examples:
- Hij kwam hier vaak. (He came here often.)
- Wij zijn laat thuis vanavond. (We are late at home tonight.)
Adverbs of quantity (veel, weinig)
Adverbs of quantity express the quantity of something.
Examples:
- Er is een beetje sneeuw gevallen vandaag. (A little snow has fallen today.)
- Er is genoeg te drinken voor iedereen. (There is enough to drink for everyone.)
Adverbs of frequency (altijd, vaak)
An adverb of frequency provides information about how often something takes place.
Examples:
- Ik ga altijd op tijd weg. (I always leave early.)
- Wij gaan af en toe zwemmen. (We ocasionally go for a swim.)
Adverbs of degree (heel, erg)
Adverbs of degree tell you the extent or degree to which something is true.
Examples:
- Hij heeft helemaal geen zin in het feest. (He does not feel like going to the party at all.)
- Het is heel warm buiten. (It is very hot outside.)
Sentence adverbs (gelukkig, misschien)
Sentence adverbs give information about a complete sentence.
Examples:
- Misschien zijn wij ontevreden met dit idee. (Perhaps we are unhappy with this idea.)
- Jij kan duidelijk niet zwemmen. (You clearly cannot swim.)
Have a look at the subchapters for a more detailed explanation.

My name is Job and Dutch is my native language.
I can help you with all the basics of speaking, reading and writing. I can also help you pass exams that require dutch, like your inburgeringscursus (NT2a or CNAVT). I can teach students from A1 up to B2 level. Also, I passed for my TEFL for the English language, so there will be no problem with explaining the Dutch language.
Discipline is the key to effective learning. I'm extremely organized, well-prepared for each of my lessons and I will never miss a single class. I have tons of study materials, which I hand out to my students after the class and customize lesson plans with.
Each learning objective is met by the end of the lesson. Grammar and a sufficient range of vocabulary are impossible to overlook, and I value it in my approach.
Dutch grammar can be tricky for non-native speakers. I go over concepts repeatedly until my students get the hang of it.
Why choose me as your tutor? I am:
--> Students passed for their exams with help of my lessons.
--> Organised; always prepared for every lesson.
--> Patient: we can continue as long as we need.
--> Friendly
--> Enthusiastic
--> Like meeting new people from the rest of the world.
My Methodology
My classes are normally up to one hour. It's possible to have longer lessons If you prefer this.
So far I have done over 1000+ lessons and gathered sufficient information that is useful in order to pass your exams or to get familiar with the language.
My materials comprise of speaking, writing, grammar, reading and listening. During our lessons we shall cover all of these aspects.
Here's a normal lesson plan with me if you're a beginner:
- Vocabulary (5 min): discussing new learned verbs.
- Pronounciation (10 min): reading a short story and building on vocabulary and articulation.
- Writing (15 min): Q and A sessions where I write your answers down and further discuss sentence structures and mistakes.
- Speaking (20 min): eloquently answering questions which are commonly asked in the exams.
-Listening (10 min): listening to an audio of a short story and answering questions.
The lesson plan varies according to your level of Dutch. Naturally, more advanced speakers focus on speaking and writing.
I always make sure I'm prepared before our lesson starts, so we can start right away and make the most of your time.
If you wish to have a well-organized and disciplined tutor who can help you achieve your goals and express yourself authentically - you can count on me!
I will make sure you're on track and every minute of your learning experience is valuable. Dutch is a pretty straight-forward language, and so am I - do ask me anything you'd like to know!

My name is Brenda and I am born in the Netherlands. At the moment I live in Nijmegen, the oldest city of the Netherlands. A lot of foreign students live here because it is a university city.
I have been interested in languages from an early age. That is why I have learned English, German, French and Spanish. But in my area I am mainly known for my excellent Dutch language skills and my eye for spelling and grammar.
Other things that interest me are cooking and baking and being creative. As a volunteer I have given guided tours and I have done workshops in both English and Dutch. I also love walking in nature or enjoying the beach and the sea!
I am currently learning Turkish, so I fully understand what you are experiencing as a language student. That’s why I am very patient. We practice as much as what you need. Is there something you don’t understand? Feel free to ask again, then we can approach the material in a different way so that it is clear for you.
I also know from experience how great it feels when you can communicate with someone in the local language! So let's go for this challenge together!
Your needs and progress as a student are central.
Please indicate before the first lesson what you would like to work on so that I can prepare myself for the lesson. A number of options are:
- Preparation for the integration course (inburgeringscursus)
Speaking, listening, reading and writing. Cultural and work-related topics.
- Beginners - Advanced (Personalized Lessons) Dutch
We can focus on every aspect of the language. When you want to learn from a book we can use your material or I will advise you which book you can purchase.
As a beginner you start with the basics, the alphabet and some basic words. We extend this so that you can start simple conversations in situations of everyday life and that you become an advanced!
A. B.
Brenda is a very patient teacher - she immediately put me at ease and we slowly worked through each exercise. She kept us on pace without feeling like a drill sergeant. She is incredibly friendly and you feel comfortable with her very quickly. She was also very flexible and communicative in finding a lesson time and answering all of my questions and concerns. Highly recommend!
