We moeten een onderscheid maken tussen regelmatige en onregelmatige werkwoorden: (1.) Regelmatige werkwoorden een vorm van (to have) in de tegenwoordige tijd + BEEN + gevolgd door een infinitiefvorm eindigend op -ED (voltooid deelwoord) Bv. I have been betrayed.
(2.) Onregelmatige werkwoorden een vorm van (to have) in de tegenwoordige tijd + BEEN + gevolgd door het onregelmatige voltooid deelwoord (de derde in het rijtje in een woordenboek of lijst) Bv. I have been seen. |
