The verbs that follow after [alvorens, door, in plaats van, na, and zonder](#/lesson/Verbs.Au12) are not mentioned in the list.The reason is that for these verbs, the presence of 'te' does not depend on the verb itself. It could be any verb, as long as it is preceded by _alvorens, door, in plaats van, na_, or _zonder_. Which in turn is followed by 'te'. In the table above, the presence of 'te' is determined by the verb itself.
(\*) This verb also occurs without 'te', with a different meaning.
