Questions & Answers about Zij heeft haar inkomen goed beheerd.
Why doesn't the past participle beheerd start with ge-?
The infinitive of this verb is beheren (to manage). Because it starts with the unstressed prefix be-, it is an inseparable verb. In Dutch, verbs starting with prefixes like be-, ver-, or ont- do not get a ge- added to their past participle.
Why does beheerd end in a -d and not a -t?
To find the ending, look at the stem of the verb beheren, which is beheer. The last letter is r. Because r is not in the consonant memory trick 't kofschip (or soft ketchup), the past participle gets a -d instead of a -t.
Could I use salaris instead of inkomen here?
You could, but the meaning shifts slightly. Salaris specifically means a salary or wage from a job, while inkomen means income in general, which could include investments, benefits, or a business.
Why is goed placed right before beheerd?
