Many verbs in Dutch, unlike in English, employ the verb ‘to be’ as the
auxiliary in compound tenses:
but
I have bought a car. Ik heb een auto gekocht.
He has gone home. Hij is naar huis gegaan.
The trees had fallen over. De bomen waren omgevallen.
Verbs that denote a change from one position or state to another belong
to this category.
komen ‘to come’, vallen ‘to fall’, stijgen ‘to rise’
which all denote a motion from one point to another.
worden ‘to become’, sterven ‘to die’, groeien ‘to grow’
which all denote a change from one state to another. But it is not always
immediately evident to English speakers that the verbs concerned imply a
change of position or state, e.g. blijven ‘to stay, remain’, verdwijnen ‘to
disappear’.
The verbs in this group are all intransitive (for exceptions see 11.7.2.1,
footnote 21, 11.7.2.2 (b) and (c)).
Both weak and strong verbs can be conjugated with zijn. This raises another
problem: most Dutch–English dictionaries and grammars will indicate in
the list of strong verbs (see 11.3.1) whether those verbs take zijn in their
compound tenses, but as weak verbs are never listed, those weak verbs
that take zijn are more difficult to isolate and learn. For this reason the
list given below is incomplete.
11.7.2.1
Verbs that always take zijn
The following verbs always take zijn in the perfect, pluperfect, future perfect
and conditional perfect tenses:
We’ll take vallen ‘to fall’ as an example of how such verbs form their
tenses:
perfect ik ben gevallen I have fallen
pluperfect ik was gevallen I had fallen
future perfect ik zal gevallen zijn I will have fallen
conditional perfect: ik zou gevallen zijn/
ik was gevallen I would have fallen
Zijn
‘to be’
