Past vs. Future Exercises For Norwegian Grammar

Try grammar exercises for better language understanding

In Norwegian grammar, understanding the concept of Past and Future tense is vital when communicating the timing of events. The past tense furnishes information about events that have occurred, while the future tense provides details about things that will or might happen. The Past tense in Norwegian is usually formed by adding -et, -te, or -de to the infinitive form of the verb. The Future tense is usually expressed using the present tense along with a future time indicator or by using the word “skal” before an infinitive. Here, you will practice differentiating and utilizing these concepts.
