2. Translate 'We have burned'. (branden)

Explanation

The correct answer is "We hebben gebrand". This is the correct translation of the phrase "We have burned" in Dutch. The verb "hebben" means "to have" and "gebrand" is the past participle form of the verb "branden" which means "to burn". So, when combined, "We hebben gebrand" translates accurately to "We have burned".

3. Translate 'you have barked'. (blaffen)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Je hebt geblaft." In Dutch, the verb "bark" is translated as "blaffen." The given answer correctly conjugates the verb in the second person singular form (you), using the auxiliary verb "hebben" (to have) in the present perfect tense.

Submit
4. Translate 'it has snowed'. (zaaien)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Het heeft gezaaid." In Dutch, the verb "zaaien" means "to sow" or "to plant seeds." The sentence "Het heeft gezaaid" translates to "it has sown" or "it has planted seeds." This indicates that the action of sowing or planting seeds has been completed in the past. The use of "heeft" (has) indicates the presence of the auxiliary verb "hebben" (to have) in the perfect tense.

Submit
5. Translate 'I have grown'. (groeien)

Explanation

The correct answer is "Ik ben gegroeid". In Dutch, the verb "groeien" (to grow) is an intransitive verb, which means it does not take a direct object. In this case, "I" is the subject of the sentence, and "groeid" or "gegroeit" are incorrect verb forms. The correct form is "ben gegroeid" which means "I have grown" in English.
