Grammar Plus: understanding the verb tenses in legal writing
The Grammar Plus course is dubbed “grammar plus”, but it could also be called “verb plus” or the “heart of the sentence” programme. The goal is to improve a Dutch lawyer’s ability to correct a verb-tense error at the core of a legal sentence. We look not just at all the verb tenses, but at many of the tense-related conventions in legal writing. This course will be useful to any Dutch-speaking legal professional who is not really sure about English verb tenses or would simply like an overview or a refresher.
