• As is usual in Dutch, the -t is dropped when the pronoun jij / je follows the verb: je zult > zul je. The verbs zullen and kunnen are unusual, however, insofar as the resulting form is not identical to the first-person singular. The form zal je is in fact a common alternative, but it is more informal and may even be considered substandard by some.
