Thank you Gules

I knew he is going to come at 5. or I knew he would come at 5

The first does not make much sense even in English, (sorry)


You are right. It does not make sense. I ment --> I knew he was going to came at 5

Thank you very much

Ik ga spelen - I am going to play

ANd how will it be in the past

I was going to play.

And another question is how to translate English future in the past
I knew he is going to come at 5. or I knew he would come at 5

Thank you

It was an analog, not the translation. But sounds good.

thanx

I would love to. I have skype and my skype name is "iboutchkine". Mention that you are Gules and I will accept you.

Thanx

Now it start making sense to me. A little bit similar to old Russian nobility descriptions (Мы Николай II). But why the web site does not give both answers as right. U heeft was right and u hebt was wrong. Anyway, it is nice to know. Now about " You sure you want to learn this language? храбрец...

Thank you Bert.
It was a big surprise for me

So if I understand you correctly, for u you can use both hebt and heeft?

I did an exercise and wrote a question
Hebt u een goede reis gehad?

I was told that this is wrong and the right answer is
Heeft u een goede reis gehad?

Can you explain please. I thought that I supposed to use hebt with u

Thank you
