Conversation and Transcript Example

Boss: Good morning, I need to drive to a meeting in an hour and I can't find my car keys. Can I borrow your car for a few hours, please?

Me: Good morning. Sure, no problem. At what time will you be back to return it to me?

Boss: I will be back around 16:00. Is that ok?

Me: Yes that is fine. Here you go.

Verbs in the Past

Regular verbs​

- Most verbs have a past tense (verleden tijd) and a past participle (voltooide tijd) with -ed

Simple Past (verb -ed) 

I lived here last year. 

Gebruik: het gebeurde in de verleden tijd en het is duidelijk of belangrijk wanneer dat was. Je kunt altijd aanwijzen wanneer het was.

Present Perfect (have/has + past participle) 

I have lived in Mexico. 

I have lived in The Netherlands for the past two years.

Gebruik: om aan te geven dat iets voltooid is, maar het is niet belangrijk wanneer. Of wanneer iets in het verleden begonnen is en nu nog steeds zo is.

Irregular verbs

A large part of the commonly used verbs are not formed with -ed. They have their own form in the past tense. We call those verbs the irregular verbs (onregelmatige werkwoorden). 

Simple Past (irregular verb in the past)

I forgot to turn off the light when I left the house. 

We spoke all night.

Present Perfect (have/has + past participle) 

I have been here before.

What have I learned today?

Yesterday I was at work and my boss asked me for my car because he couldn't find his car keys. He is so unorganised! I felt uncomfortable about it but I didn't want to say no. So in the end I lent him my car.
