Comprehensive grammar exercises for English learnersย 

The Past Perfect Progressive tense in Estonian is used to describe an action that was ongoing in the past and was completed before another event occurred. It helps to give a clear picture of something that took place for a while before being interrupted or brought to an end. In Estonian, this tense can be formed by using the “olnud” form of “olema” (to be) and the progressive form of the main verb with “-nud” ending.
