Dutch Sentences


The most common way to make a Dutch question is to move the first verb to the front of the sentence.


Reverse the meaning of a sentence by adding or changing a word.

The word order of Dutch sentences is not the same as in English. Very often, when a sentence includes more than one verb, all verbs except the first one are at the end of the sentence. The second part of a compound sentence looks like a question sometimes.
