De vergadering is komen te vervallen

[werkwoorden]
Regular verbs, irregular verbs, auxiliary verbs, compound verbs... When do we use which tense? What about those strange constructions the Dutch use to make a continuous? "Staat" my book on the shelf or "ligt" it? Ask all about Dutch verbs here.

De vergadering is komen te vervallen

Post by aceelhy »

In deze zin 'De vergadering is komen te vervallen', waarom is er een 'te'? Volgens de uitleg in deze link https://www.dutchgrammar.com/en/?n=Verbs.Au09 is een 'te' niet nodig, bijvoorbeeld, 'het is komen vervallen'. Alvast bedankt!

Ik denk dat men een fout heeft gemaakt. Volgens de regels zou er inderdaad "... komen vervallen" moeten staan. MAAR je zult deze fout heel vaak tegenkomen, dus eigenlijk is dit normaal taalgebruik geworden. Maar je hebt wel gelijk: volgens de regels is het fout.

I think the link is wrong. The correct form is "het is komen te vervallen". I don't think that there is much regularity here. In two cases "te" is dropped, in one it is not. That is idiom, not grammar. Idiom does not follow rules.

Thanks for all your replies. I think I can just regard it as an exception to the grammar rules.

Dat is inderdaad een goede uitleg.
