Simple vs Continuous Exercises For Lithuanian Grammar

Revision material for learning grammar rules

In Lithuanian grammar, the distinction between Simple and Continuous tenses can be clearly noticed. Although both are used to describe events happening in a specific timeframe, they are used differently. The Simple tense denotes actions that are momentary, completed, or habitual, whereas the Continuous tense denotes actions that are ongoing, repetitive, or happening at the moment of speaking. Understanding and applying this concept correctly is essential for mastering Lithuanian language.
