Present Perfect Progressive Exercises For Danish Grammar

Classroom full of students practicing language grammar 

The Present Perfect Progressive in Danish grammar is used to express actions that started in the past and have continued up to the present moment. This tense is formed by combining the present perfect tense of “at være” (which means “to be”) and the present participle. With this in mind, let’s continue and practice the Present Perfect Progressive tense in Danish. Remember that Danish language follows V2 word order, therefore the participle will generally come after the subject. Good luck!
