Simple tenses Exercises For Latvian Grammar

Digital platform for advanced grammar practice 

In Latvian grammar, simple tenses consist of the present tense (tagadne), past tense (pagātne) and future tense (nākotne). Morphological forms are not used to mark these timesteps; instead, aspectual prefixes and the verb participle are employed. The tenses represent actions or states at different times and their completion or continuation. Understanding these simple tense forms is key to mastering Latvian grammar.
