Intermediate Dutch is designed for learners who have achieved a basic proficiency and wish to refine their knowledge of grammatical structures.
This workbook, along with its companion volume Basic Dutch, provides clear and concise summaries of the essential points of Dutch grammar as well as opportunities to practice using the structures of the language.

This book is an intermediate Dutch reference grammar with exercises, to be used in an intermediate Dutch language course or by independent learners who want to refine their knowledge of grammatical structures. Each unit presents a grammatical topic with an introduction and overview, followed by clear and concise explanations in English and ending with a series of contextualized exercises. The explanations are illustrated by mostly contextualized examples in Dutch, and sometimes images are included to provide a more humorous context.
This intermediate grammar workbook is the continuation of (and makes frequent references to) Basic Dutch: A Grammar and Workbook, also published in the Grammar Workbooks series by Routledge. Its 24 units cover the materials typical for second-year curriculum Dutch as a foreign language taught at university level. Using vocabulary associated with topics featured in typical second-year Dutch language textbooks, this book can accompany any such textbook used in classroom language instruction. While the vocabulary used in the examples and exercises is practical and functional, the grammatical structures are explained in enough detail to make this book suitable for grammar review in more advanced Dutch classes as well.
Language is best learned and practiced in context. Sample sentences and exercises in traditional grammar books often lack such context. This book, however, explains grammar structures in as much context as possible. Following the format of Basic Dutch, many of the exercises again feature the imaginary Dutch family of four and their circle of friends to provide a situational context. The exercises progress from simple recognition to complex application of new grammar structures. For classroom purposes, some speaking exercises suitable for group work are included. For immediate feedback, an answer key is provided in the back of this book.
For help in writing this grammar workbook and Basic Dutch, I have consulted many excellent reference grammars and other Dutch grammar workbooks, first and foremost the Algemene Nederlandse Spraakkunst (Martinus Nijhoff, 1997), but also works such as Dutch: An EssentialGrammar (Routledge, 2002), De Regels van het Nederlands (Wolters-Noordhoff, 1994), and Nederlandse Grammatica voor Anderstaligen (Utrecht: Nederlands Centrum Buitenlanders, 1985). I am indebted to the people at taaladvies.net for sending me quick and helpful answers to complex grammatical questions. I specially thank Wijnie de Groot and Alice van Kalsbeek for constructive comments and moral support along the way, and I am most grateful to my students Heidi Raatz and Julia Belgum for proofreading my chapters and asking me exactly the right questions. Many thanks also to Ari Hoptman for providing the images to underline the grammar with good laughs. Sadly, for reasons of space, we had to limit ourselves to only a few in this book. Lastly, I want to thank the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota for granting me a leave of absence to finish this project.

Conjunctions
In Unit 23 of Basic Dutch, we discussed word order, and most importantly the position of the conjugated verb in coordinated and subordinated sentences. This unit builds on that information by giving an overview of the most commonly used coordinating and subordinating conjunctions (
