A verb is a word that indicates an action or a certain state something is in. We know two kinds of verbs.
1. verbs that conform to rules. Example: see picture.
2. verbs that do not follow standard rules. Examples are the verbs: to have and to be
For verbs that do follow rules, we first look at the form with "ik fiets". (See picture, first sentence)
Notice that with a question with "you" the verb behaves like with I (see picture).
the stem
Notice the form with "ik fiets". This form is called "the stem".
We see that with you the letter t is added to the stem
With the plural form the letters "-en" are added to the stem.
Notice that with questions there is no extra letter t with the you-form (last sentence in the picture)

Verbs indicate an action. If an action is completed (English: it is done) we use a construction with another verb (to have of to be). The figure shows an example with the verb to have:
I have cycled in Amsterdam.
