The Past perfect progressive tense in Croatian grammar is used to describe an action that was in progress before another past action occurred. Unlike English, Croatian does not use auxiliary verbs like ‘had been’ to express this tense; instead, it is formed by using the past participle form of the verb, which always ends in “-o”, “-la”, “-lo”, or “-li”. The past participle is combined with expressions that indicate the duration of the action, such as “satima” (for hours), “danima” (for days), or “mjesecima” (for months). Now, let’s practice this tense with some exercises.
