Learn Dutch: De regering wil de hervorming volgend jaar invoeren. - The government wants to introduce the reform next year.

In Dutch, de regering specifically refers to the ruling cabinet of ministers and the head of state who make high-level political decisions (like passing reforms). De overheid is a broader term for the entire state apparatus and public authorities, including local councils, tax authorities, and the police.

If we wanted to add the concessive connector evenwel (however) to this sentence, where would it go?

You would typically place evenwel in the middle field of the sentence, after the finite verb (wil) and the specific object (de hervorming), but before the time expression. For example: De regering wil de hervorming evenwel volgend jaar invoeren. You could also place it at the very beginning to emphasize the contrast: Evenwel wil de regering de hervorming volgend jaar invoeren.

Why is the separable verb invoeren written as one word at the end of the sentence?

Because it is in the full infinitive form, triggered by the modal verb wil. When a separable verb is pushed to the end of a clause as an infinitive, its prefix (in) and base verb (voeren) are written as a single word. If there were no modal verb, it would split: De regering voert de hervorming volgend jaar in.

Why does the sentence use volgend jaar without a definite article like het?
