Learn Dutch: VTT (Past tense) - with Niels!
Dutch beyond the very basics - Learn useful grammatical structures like using the VTT (past tense), and take your Dutch to the next level.
Note : I realize the intro title says Voltooid Verleden Tijd (VVT), when in fact the video is about the much more common Voltooid Tegenwoordige Tijd (VTT). I somehow missed that, and now I can't change it, unless I delete and re-upload the video. So: VTT!

Learn Dutch with Niels! So the first verb for wor regular verbs get “hebben”/“to have” “I have seen her”/“Ik heb haar gezien” and for wor irregular verbs get; “zijn”/“to be” “I’ve been to Newcastle”/“Ik ben naar Newcastle geweest” right? :)

Learn Dutch with Niels! Wait! I’m wrong! Not all of wor primary irregular verbs get zijn! I mean that; “I’ve been to Newcastle” example! I mean, in English, “been” IS wor past tense of “to be” and yes! In English you gotta say; “have” But Dutch REALLY takes it into account that wor last past particle verb is; “been”/“geweest” and of course! ;) Since English is Dutch’s artistic, pedantic older cousin, he wants BOTH of his verbs to involve “to be” As Shakespeare would say; “It is to be that Michael Galan-Diaz has been to Newcastle!” XD Ok,! Childish analogy jokes aside! Just as LONG as you KNOW in English if you get; “has been” or “have been” sentences in Dutch just make you use wor; “zijn geweest” formula and there you go! ;) Top banana! ;) 😃😃😃😃

Another example why we gotta use; “zijn” is when it involves; “gegaan” because to you guys, if you wanna say; “he is gone” I think that’s; “Hij is weg” so... Yeah! That’s why; “He has gone to Spain” has to be; “Hij is naar Spanje gegaan” I think! Two more are; “Have returned” “he is back” “he has returned” “Hij is terug” “hij is teruggekeerd” and “have changed” “Dat meisje is een mooie vrouw veranderd” I think! Yeah, I’m probably wrong but I’m just guessing! ;) :) But still! Wor easiest example is “zijn geweest”! XD
Your presentation is fantastic. I am self-isolating and spending the lonely day learning dutch. Your lessons are the only ones I have found to be easy to remember. Thank you
Thank you for the video i dont think that i am the only who was waiting your videos , you are a great teacher
So nice to see you back Niels! Happy 2020! I like how you make Dutch easier to learn. Will you make a video about building complex sentences with "could have done" "shouldn't have done" "might have been doing" etc? These are what I find most confusing.
Bedankt. Ik heb veel gelleerd. Pls. Continue making video specially complete sentences. ❤🙏
As part of my plan to force Dutch exposure on myself, I set my Facebook to show a Dutch interface, and I kept seeing "hebben gereageerd" in the comments, and I now recognize that contruction. Thanks
The only online dutch course I find useful ! Dankjewel Niels :) Groetjes van Colombia. knuffels voor jou.
Sir i understand what ever you explain very nicely..thankyou..pls keep making new videos..
The past is very tricky and always cause me some embarrasing moments in a conversation, thx for bring up this topic!
I really loved the way you explained things !
The best present! Dank je wel Niels! Gelukkig nieuwjaar!
Bedankt , Niels!Ik ben blij dat ik je lessen heb gevonden!
Really well explained. First time I’ve understood soft ketchup rule. Thank you
I'm fairly certain that English also used 'to be' as the verb in the past perfect tense. There is a Middle English song 'sumer is icumen in' (summer has arrived/ de zomer is aangekomen). The 'ge-' prefix was also used in Middle English, although in this case 'i-' appears. English, Dutch and German really are sibling languages, although English has borrowed vocabulary more heavily from French. I remember learning my German verbs (back in 1967) as triplets: gehen/ging/gegangen, etc. And I'm enough of a language nerd to recognise that the letters in 'soft ketchup' are the unvoiced consonants 🤓
Hello Neil, Can you please make a video on the proper use of GEEN, NEIT AND NEE.
Gelukkig Nieuwjaar 🎉

Hoi Niels, je video's zijn geweldig. Foutje in je titel is VTT voltooid tegenwoordige tijd. Maar je hebt het over voltooid verleden tijd VVT. Groetjes!

Dankjewel! Maar de video gaat wel over de VTT. De VVT is bijvoorbeeld 'hij had me al gezien'. Maar ik heb in de intro inderdaad foutief Voltooid Verleden Tijd geschreven. Helaas kan ik dat nu niet meer verbeteren
Je heeft een goede filmpje gemaakt. Dank je wel Du hast einen super Video gemacht. Danke dir sehr
thank you so much for all your videos, they are helping me tremendously on learning Dutch!
Very helpful video and great explanation for the rules, thanks Niels!

Thanks so much it was very useful for me to refresh my memory before a Dutch test 😀
I love the way you teach! Super clear! Thanks a lot and looking forward to more videos !!!
I have been looking and maybe missed it but I could really use help with geen and niet. I am just starting to learn and they are making me crazy. Just when I think I have it figured out I find I don't and you explain things better than any I have found.
You're back! Please make more videos more frequently. You've helped me a lot with them.
It's simply amazing. Thanks for the good work
Dank u Niels!
Heel erg bedankt Niels! Ik vind jouw series helemaal leuk! Volgens me hoewel andere leermiddelen (e.g., Taal leerboeken) nuttig zjin, maar ze hebben niet alles wat ik wil en nodig heb. Dus dankjewel! Dit is wat ik nu echt nodig heb.
Great video. thank you Niels.
Was much needed! Really. Thank you :) Could you please do a video about the passive sentences.
Nice explanations. Thanks for making such videos!
Your lessons are helping me a lot! Thanks!
Welcome back Niels! Heel erg bedankt voor de eerste video in 2020! The video is not only practical but also informative, Thank you so much for making it. Please make another video of the (Ben and Heb) with some fixed impression when you have time. I am looking forward to see them!
Great to see you again, Niels! I've been learning Dutch for a year and a half, and your videos have been extremely helpful. Dankjewel voor al je filmpjes! Ik heb veel geleerd.
Dank je wel Niels! Finally a new vid -thought you'd stopped with youtube. Gelukkig nieuw jaar Meneer!

beste docent nederlands
Dank je wel . Doorgaan ik je gewachte
Thank you for your help.
Ik denk dat VTT de voltooid tegenwoordige tijd is.Maar ik ben verder heel blij met je videos; ze zijn erg gestuctureerd.

Technisch gezien wel ja, maar je gebruikt de VTT om over het verleden te spreken. Het heet de voltooid tegenwoordige tijd omdat de persoonsvorm in de tegenwoordige tijd staat. Maar "Ik ben gevallen" spreekt toch echt over het verleden. De Voltooid Verleden Tijd (VVT) is: "Ik was gevallen"
Many thanks
Thanks alot for your leson.
thank you neils , finally i can understand this , greetings from chile
thank you sir, great video
Thank you Niels. Your videos are of great simplicity and yet thoroughly explained. Very helpful, thank you very much! (I would like to point that you titled your video VTT but said “Voltooid Verleden Tijd” (VVT?)at the beginning of the video. Is it the same as the VTT Voltooid Tegenwoordige Tijd”? Thank you!
WoeHoe! een nieuw Niels video!
Gelukkig nieuwjaar
your videos are so helpful! Jij bent een super docent! :)
So great thank you
