Verb-Type

CELEX distinguishes four types of verbs. The first three (full verb, modal and auxiliary are the same as in the German application; the fourth is the group of impersonal verbs which have only one (impersonal) subject, `het'. Compare French ``il pleut'' (`pleuvoir').

Attribute Value Du. example Du. tag
Verb-Type full verb afwassen zelfst.
auxiliary hebben hulp.
modal lijken koppel.
impersonal regenen onpers.

Note that many verbs are tagged with double or triple tags because they can have two or three values.
