Imperfect Exercises For Finnish Grammar

Grammar exercises for systematic language studiesย 

The Imperfect tense in Finnish is used to describe past actions or events that were ongoing or uncompleted at a certain point in time. It is equivalent to the past continuous tense in English (e.g., ‘I was doing’). Imperfect is formed by adding a personal ending to the stem of the verb. Finnish learners should familiarize themselves with the forms and usage of the Imperfect tense in order to communicate effectively in past situations.
