Note that the spelling of the verb changes in the past tense as well. The stem of the verb (which is “woon-“) remains the same, but the endings are different. Also, keep in mind that Dutch has two past tenses, the simple past and the present perfect, and the choice of tense depends on the context and the speaker’s preference.

Note that the present perfect tense in Dutch is formed with the auxiliary verb “hebben” (to have) and the past participle of the main verb. In the case of “wonen,” the past participle is “gewoond.” The word “gewoond” is formed by adding the prefix “ge-” to the stem of the verb “woon-” and the suffix “-d.” Also, keep in mind that the choice of tense depends on the context and the speaker’s preference.

Note that the future tense in Dutch is formed with the auxiliary verb “zullen” (will) and the infinitive form of the main verb. In the case of “wonen,” the infinitive form is “wonen.” The conjugation of “zullen” changes depending on the subject pronoun. Also, keep in mind that the choice of tense depends on the context and the speaker’s preference.
