So geen boeken means no books, and geen boek means no book. Track 44 Learning Plus! Understanding verb use in Dutch Listen to the English and repeat the Dutch expressions. to shop I shop. You (singular) shop. She shops. They shop. to speak I speak. You (singular) speak. He speaks. We speak. winkelen Ik winkel. U winkelt. Zij winkelt. Zij winkelen. spreken Ik spreek. Jij spreekt. Hij spreekt. Wij spreken. Most regular verbs end in en. For example, the verb for to drink is drinken. We must change the form of the verb to use it with different pronouns such as I, you, he, she, it, we, and they. To do this, we drop the en and work from the stem of the verb. Let s go back to our example to drink: drinken. So the stem of this verb is drink. We can use this stem to say I drink: Ik drink. Or we can add the letter t to say you drink, for both the formal u drinkt and informal forms jij drinkt. For the third person singular, which is he, she or it drinks, you d use the version with t and say the following: hij drinkt, zij drinkt, het drinkt. And finally, for we, you in plural form, and they, use the full form of the verb: wij drinken, jullie drinken, zij drinken. 16

When you have a toothache in English you could have sore teeth anywhere in your mouth, but the Dutch distinguish between molar pain and tooth pain, so we have tandpijn when there is pain in your front teeth. We then use kiespijn when there is pain in your molars. 20
