Questions & Answers about Het nieuwe project begint in augustus of september.
Why aren't the months augustus and september capitalized like they are in English?
In Dutch, months of the year, days of the week, and seasons are written with lowercase letters unless they are the very first word of a sentence.
Do we always use in before months in Dutch, just like in English?
Yes! Just like in English, you use the preposition in to say something happens in a specific month, like in augustus (in August).
Why is it nieuwe instead of just nieuw?
The word project is a het word (het project). When you put an adjective before a noun that has de or het in front of it, you usually add an -e to the end of the adjective. So, nieuw becomes nieuwe.
Can I use the Dutch word start instead of begint to mean starts?
Yes, you can! Dutch also has the verb starten, so saying Het nieuwe project start is perfectly natural and means the exact same thing as begint.
