Past Simple vs Past Continuous Exercises For Serbian Grammar

Language learning simplified with easy-to-understand grammar exercises

In the Serbian grammar, Past Simple and Past Continuous are important tenses that denote actions in the past. Past Simple refers to actions that happened at an exact time in the past. It’s formed with the auxiliary verb ‘biti (to be)’ in the past simple and past participle. On the other hand, Past Continuous is used to denote ongoing actions in the past and is usually translated as “I was doing something”. It’s constructed with the auxiliary verb ‘biti (to be)’ in the present tense and the infinitive of the verb.
