Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Which of the following is the correct infinitive for the verb 'to work'?

    • A. 

      Enwerk

    • B. 

      Werk

    • C. 

      Werken

    Correct Answer
    C. Werken
    Explanation
    The correct infinitive for the verb 'to work' is "werken". In Dutch, the infinitive form of a verb is formed by adding "-en" to the stem of the verb. In this case, the stem of the verb 'to work' is "werk", and when "-en" is added to it, it becomes "werken". Therefore, "werken" is the correct infinitive form for the verb 'to work' in Dutch.
