Continuous Tenses Comparison Exercises For Greek Grammar

Grammar exercises enhancing language comprehension skillsĀ 

In Greek grammar, the continuous tenses are used to indicate actions that are in progress. Much like in English, these tenses include the present continuous, past continuous, and future continuous. They’re formed using different tenses of the verb ‘to be’ combined with the present participle of the main verb. Comparing the continuous tenses involves observing the distinction between the duration of the action (continuous) and its completion (perfect). Now, let’s practice these continuous tenses in Greek.
