Dutch conjugation.
I'm just now learning how to properly conjugate words to for a proper sentence. It's not easy for me to learn, but I'm doing my best. I understand that all tense's need to have their stem, and all that. But I'm still not quite getting how that works into the sentence.
For instance, if I wanted to say; "I need to work on replies."
would it be "Ik moeten werk op antwoorden." For some reason it just doesn't look right to me. Or maybe I'm just that uncertain of myself that nothing I write will look right haha.

I go by Zomp.
So, I'm learning to speak Dutch [with a Flemish accent.] from a friend native to Belgium, but she isn't always on so I'm trying to teach myself when she's not around but it's not easy.
So here is my query.
When you write in another language compared to English know somethings get switched around and what have you.
When you write in dutch does the same apply? The things I know so far, for instance
"Hoe gaat het met je." Seem's pretty straight forward.
"How goes it with you?"
So would something like
"How are you?" automatically translate to "How zijt jou?"
[[I'm not sure I used the right word for are.]]
