Hoi Dutchie to be,

In this class, I am introducing the three tenses that you can use to say something about the past, which are:

• imperfectum (simple past/onvoltooid verleden tijd)
• perfectum (present perfect/voltooid tegenwoordige tijd)
• plusquamperfectum (past perfect/voltooid verleden tijd)
  
  
  

Examples for a sentence like "Ik fiets naar school" (I bike to school), are:

1. Ik fietste naar school. (imperfectum)
2. Ik ben naar school gefietst. (perfectum)
3. Ik was naar school gefietst. (plusquamperfectum)

I will introduce these tenses shortly in a PDF, and then, we're also going to learn how to conjugate regular verbs in the perfectum and imperfectum:
