12.5.1
12.5.1.1
Notes
For use of te with or without om see 11.9.3 and 11.9.2 respectively.
12.5.1.2
Alvorens, which like teneinde is a very formal subordinating conjunction,
and na + an infinitive clause can always be replaced respectively by voordat
and nadat + a subordinate clause:
Nadat hij urenlang gewerkt had, ging hij naar de bioscoop.
After he had worked for hours, he went to the movies.
12.5.1.3
A superfluous met functioning as a conjunction is often heard in the
spoken language in progressive verbal constructions:
Je bent de hele dag bezig met dat kind te helpen.
You spend your whole day helping that child.
In spoken Dutch met can also sometimes replace door (see 12.5) in infinitive
clauses:
Met/door dat te doen, zul je niets bereiken.
You’ll achieve nothing by doing that.
12.5.1.4
In plaats van and zonder differ in usage from in plaats van dat and zonder
dat (see 12.2) in the following way: when the subject of both clauses is
the same, the infinitive clause construction can be used; but when the subjects
are different, the appropriate subordinating conjunction must be used:
or
Zonder op te kijken liep hij door.
Hij liep door zonder dat hij opkeek.
He walked on without looking up. (same subject in both clauses)
