1.PRESENT CONTINUOUS (I am going; O.T.T.; duur)
now
2.SIMPLE PRESENT (I go; O.T.T.)
usually (general truth)
3.PRESENT PERFECT (I have gone; V.T.T.)
merk op: altijd to have + past participle (ook voor bewegingswerkwoorden e.d.)
connection with the present (just, already, since…)
no time indication
vague (ever, lately)
4.SIMPLE PAST (I went; O.V.T.)
there is a time indication – this may be a time-clause (bijzin van tijd)
successive actions
is used in questions unless there is a clear connection with the present (in that case: present perfect)
opmerking: incomplete periods (today, this week, this year)
indien vaag: present perfect
indien welbepaald (specific, e.g. once or twice): simple past
5.PAST CONTINUOUS (I was going; O.V.T.; duur)
the limits of the action are vague
there is no time indication or…
if there is, the action began before it and probably continued afterwards
difference with the present perfect:
de past continuous drukt een duur uit
de past continuous ligt volledig in het verleden (no connection with the present)
Ideaal. Ben net een cursus Engels begonnen (volwassenonderwijs). Dit komt dus goed van pas.
Thanks!
