Learn Dutch: 's Avonds wordt er live uitgezonden. - In the evening, people broadcast live.

This is the impersonal passive voice. When you want to describe an action happening without saying exactly who is doing it, Dutch uses wordt (is) + er (there) + a past participle (uitgezonden). Literally, it means 'There is broadcasted in the evening.' Translating it as 'people broadcast' just sounds more natural in English.

Why is the word order wordt er instead of er wordt?

This happens because of inversion. The sentence starts with the time phrase 's Avonds (In the evening). In a standard Dutch main clause, the verb must be the second idea in the sentence. Since the time phrase took the first spot, the verb (wordt) must come next, pushing the subject to the other side. Here, er acts as a dummy subject, so it sits right after the verb.

How is the past participle uitgezonden formed?

It comes from the separable verb uitzenden (to broadcast). When forming the past participle of a separable verb, the -ge- gets sandwiched between the prefix (uit-) and the main verb (zenden). Because zenden is an irregular verb, its past participle is gezonden. Putting it all together gives you uitgezonden.

Why does 's Avonds start with an apostrophe 's', and why is the A capitalized?
