Dutch Verb Conjugations

If you learn some of the basic "root" verbs, such as zien and denken, you will immediately know how to conjugate all their cousins: aanzien, doorzien, herzien, inzien, nazien, weerzien; and bedenken, herdenken, nadenken, overdenken, uitdenken, verdenken. We give here some common root verbs, along with a list of related verbs. A "-" indicates that the verb has a separable prefix.
