The CELEX Wordforms Lexicon distinguishes between infinitive, present participle, past participle, finite verb forms and some other forms.
| Attribute | Value | Du. example | Du. tag |
| Verb-Form | infinitive | gaan | i |
| pres participle | gaand | pt | |
| past participle | gegaan | pv | |
| finite | (hij) gaat | ||
| imperative | ga | g | |
See below for other participle word forms.
Finite verb forms are not marked as such, but the 14 present and past tense Flection Type tags which are distinguished are all finite verb forms.
As the degree of language specificity of the following five distinctions is not clear, they are not classified as such.
The CELEX Wordforms Lexicon distinguishes three Present participle word forms and seven Past participle word forms.
| pt | Present participle | lopend |
| ptE | Present participle with suffix `-e' | lopende |
| ptEm | Pres.part. with suffix `-e' , plural(`-de') | lopenden |
| pv | Past participle | gecoordineerd |
| pvC | Past participle Comparative | gecoordineerder |
| pvE | Past participle with suffix `-e' | gecoordineerde |
| pvEe | Idem of irregular verbs, singular | beschonkene |
| pvEm | Past participle with suffix `-e', plural | gedekoreerden |
| pvEs | Past part. with suffix `-e', separated | rond gezeilde |
| pvs | Past participle, separated | rond gezeild |
Only the Past and Present participle word forms `pt', `pv' and `pvs' are verbal word forms. However, they can also function as adjectives (and thus as adverbs) or nouns. The other Participle word forms are only used as adjectives, adverbs or nouns, so they can be covered by adjectival, adverbial or nominal tags. From the perspective of lemmatisation, however, it might be important to stress the verbal aspect of participles, since, as long as participles are not yet lexicalised (accepted as real adjectives or nouns with a meaning of their own, differing from the meaning of the verb they are derived from) they do not have a lemma of their own, but are still to be lemmatised as words deriving from a verbal lemma.
