Hoeveel moet ik u?

[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.

How much do I owe you? = Hoeveel moet ik u?

Is it OK to omit the verb in this one? Or did they (Loecsen) make a mistake?
