Verbs in Dutch – part 3 is lesson 23. This video lesson contains 25 the most frequently used Dutch verbs. With the vocabulary of this lesson you will be able to describe another 25 activities. Please remind lesson 8, which is part 1 of the most common verbs in Dutch, to repeat the conjugation of verbs in the present tense. Make sure you know this well, because a right use of the verbs is necessary to conduct even simple conversations in Dutch.

More about open/closed syllable verb conjugations, consonant changes, irregular verbs and the use of the present tense (place of the finite verb in the sentence) is discussed in detail in our online course #dutchgrammar.
