Unfortunately, not all Dutch-English dictionaries provide the translations for the grammar terms they are using, and the grammar vocabulary can vary depending on the type of dictionary you are using.\u00a0 There are two sets of grammar vocabulary that you should become familiar with.\u00a0 The first type is the internationally adapted set of words that are cognates with the terms in many other languages.\u00a0 The second type is the set that are the actual Dutch ways of referring to grammar.<\/p>\n<p>In the list below, the first Dutch word is the internationally adapted word, and the second word is the standard Dutch word.\u00a0 Below you will find the terminology for many of the basic parts of sentences and types of words.\u00a0 In Part Two of this series, we&#8217;ll cover some of the words for the different tenses and more specific terminology for types of words.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Types of Words:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0 het substantief\/het zelfstandig naamwoord : the

series we&#8217;ll get into some more complicated, more specific types of words, parts of sentences and the verb tenses.\u00a0 But for now I think this is more than enough to make anyone&#8217;s head spin!\u00a0 For practice, check out a Dutch newspaper online, pick a group of sentences and see if you can label the types of words and the parts of sentences you see.\u00a0 Some places to start are
