Questions & Answers about Jullie hebben daar veel werk.
Why do we use hebben here instead of hebt?
The subject of the sentence is jullie, which means "you" plural (like "you all" or "you guys"). In Dutch, plural subjects always take the plural form of the verb. For the verb "to have", the plural form is hebben. If it were a single person, you would say jij hebt.
Is jullie always plural?
Yes! While English uses "you" for both one person and multiple people, Dutch is more specific. Jullie always means "you" (plural). Because it's plural, the verb matching it will always be the plural form (hebben).
Why does daar (there) come right after the verb instead of at the end of the sentence?
Can veel mean both "many" and "a lot of"?
Yes, veel translates to "much", "many", or "a lot of" depending on the context. Here, werk (work) is an uncountable noun, just like in English, so veel werk means "a lot of work" or "much work".
