evalueerde

Evalueerde is the simple past tense form of the Dutch verb evalueren, meaning to evaluate or assess. It is used to describe a completed act of evaluation in the past, and can function with subjects in the singular (ik, jij, hij/zij/het) as well as in the plural with the corresponding forms. The related past participle is geëvalueerd, used with have/has in perfect tenses (bijvoorbeeld: we hebben de resultaten geëvalueerd).

Etymology and related forms: evalueren is a Dutch verb borrowed from the same root as the French évaluer and the English evaluate. The root val- links to value or worth, and the verb extends into formal contexts such as assessment, appraisal, and review. The noun form evaluatie is commonly used to refer to the act or process of evaluation, and evaluerend serves as the present participle: someone who is evaluating.

Conjugation and grammar: in the present tense, evalueer is used for the first person singular, evalueert for second and third person singular, and evalueren for plural subjects. In the simple past, the singular form is evalueerde (ik evalueerde, jij evalueerde, hij evalueerde), while the plural is evalueerden (wij/evalueren in past; jullie evalueerden; zij evalueerden). The past participle is geëvalueerd, used with hebben to form perfect tenses (Wij hebben de resultaten geëvalueerd).

Usage: evalueerde commonly appears in formal, academic, or professional writing when describing retrospective assessments, performance reviews, or methodological evaluations. It coexists with synonyms like beoordelen (to assess) and inschatten (to estimate), but evalueren emphasizes a structured, criterion-based appraisal.
