Exercise to practice the Dutch present perfect 1
Veel succes!
Fill in the present perfect. Make the past participle of the verb in brackets.
Tip:
- Present perfect is mostly formed using 'hebben'. Remember that linking verbs and verbs that express movement, and development of change are formed with 'zijn'.
- ge + stem + t/d
- Take a look at the past simple page to see when the past participle changes for the strong verbs.
