Questions & Answers about Dan zal de arts de ziekte hebben genezen.
How do we form the future perfect tense in this sentence?
We use the present tense of zullen (zal), the auxiliary verb hebben, and the past participle genezen. This structure (zullen + hebben or zijn + past participle) is the standard way to express that something "will have" happened by a certain point in the future.
Why does the sentence say zal de arts instead of de arts zal?
Because the sentence starts with Dan (Then). In Dutch main clauses, the conjugated verb (zal) must always be the second idea in the sentence. When a time word takes the first position, the subject (de arts) moves to the other side of the verb to keep the verb in position two. This is called inversion.
At the end of the sentence, could I write genezen hebben instead of hebben genezen?
Yes! When you have an auxiliary verb like hebben and a past participle like genezen together at the end of a sentence, their order is flexible. Both hebben genezen and genezen hebben are correct and widely used.
Why does the past participle genezen look exactly like the infinitive?
