How this verb works
- Regular verb. The stem is focus. The infinitive focussen has s before -en, one of the sounds in 't kofschip (t, k, f, s, ch, p), so the past tense takes -te (focuste, focusten) and the participle ends in -t (gefocust).
- When jij comes after the verb, the -t drops: jij focust, but focus jij?
