Past Progressive Exercises For Serbian Grammar

Language deciphered through immersive grammar activitiesย 

Past Progressive or Past Continuous tense in Serbian grammar is used to indicate an ongoing action that happened at some point in the past. Like in English, the verb tense is formed by combining the auxiliary verb “biti” (to be) in the appropriate form with the active participle of the main verb. The action is considered as having duration and not been completed. Now, let’s practice this concept with a couple of exercises.
