Usage notes
- This pronoun can combine with a preposition to form a pronominal adverb. When this occurs, it is changed into its adverbial/locative counterpart er. See also Dutch pronominal adverbs.
- In a double-object construction with another pronoun, het is generally the direct object but precedes the other pronoun: Geef het hem terug! (“Give it back to him!”). Compare regional English Give it him back!. This is different from other neuter pronouns, which usually follow the indirect object: Geef hem dat terug! (“Give that back to him!”)
