I don't know why you identify verbs into 'weak' and 'strong' categories. for me it's easier to remember as regular and irregular verbs. Regular verbs in its past participle tense need to be added with 'd' or 't' to the stem of the word. For example, the infinitive form of 'to work' is 'werken', the stem of this word is 'werk', which is used for the first person's present tense. In the dutch past paticiple tense, this verb becomes 'gewerkt' - which 'ge-' and 't' are added to the stem of the word.
All the irregular verbs are listed in any language book (usually at back) or in any dutch dictionary. There are only very rough rules about the change for irregular verbs. The only way to learn is to remember themby heart :(
Moreover, as a Chinese, i strongly suggest to learn Dutch from English. It is much, much easier to map dutch into english because to some extent they are so similar, in terms of changes of verb with people and tenses. Additionally there are a lot more material and information available in English about the Dutch language than in Chinese. Chinese has almost zero similarity with dutch. It is difficult to compare and remember for me. Hope these recommendations are useful for you.
Let's make progress in learning dutch together! |
