Note that all three forms are grammatically equally correct, but that<br />

the separated forms of the past participle are more common in speech.<br />

Also, the forms with the helping v<strong>er</strong>b (hebben or zijn) at the end of the<br />

sentence are less common in mod<strong>er</strong>n Dutch.<br />

Separable and inseparable v<strong>er</strong>bs with modal v<strong>er</strong>bs<br />

Both separable and inseparable v<strong>er</strong>bs appear at the end of the sentence<br />

in their infinitive form when used with a modal (or oth<strong>er</strong> auxiliary) v<strong>er</strong>b.<br />

Examples:<br />

Erik en Sanne willen zat<strong>er</strong>dag uitgaan.<br />

Erik and Sanne want to go out on Saturday.<br />

Erik gaat het theat<strong>er</strong> voor kaarten opbellen.<br />

Erik will call the theat<strong>er</strong> for tickets.<br />

Erik moet zijn naam twee ke<strong>er</strong> h<strong>er</strong>halen.<br />

Erik has to repeat his name twice.<br />

Separable v<strong>er</strong>bs with modal v<strong>er</strong>bs in<br />

subordinated sentences<br />

When a separable v<strong>er</strong>b is used in a subordinated sentence with a modal<br />

(or oth<strong>er</strong> auxiliary) v<strong>er</strong>b, the modal v<strong>er</strong>b can split the infinitive of the<br />

separable v<strong>er</strong>b or appear right before it. Examples:<br />

Erik zegt dat hij en Sanne zat<strong>er</strong>dag uit willen gaan.<br />

Erik says that he and Sanne want to go out on Saturday.<br />

Separable<br />

and<br />

inseparable<br />
