Separable and inseparable v<strong>er</strong>bs in<br />

subordinated sentences<br />

Erik says that he and Sanne are going out on Saturday.<br />

Sanne wil graag dat Erik het theat<strong>er</strong> opbelt voor kaarten.<br />

Separable v<strong>er</strong>bs in subordinated sentences in<br />

the present p<strong>er</strong>fect<br />

of a separable v<strong>er</strong>b can be split up by the helping v<strong>er</strong>b hebben or zijn, or<br />

the helping v<strong>er</strong>b can be placed right before or right aft<strong>er</strong> the past participle.<br />
