Present Perfect Progressive Exercises For Malay Grammar


Exercise 1: Fill in the blanks with the correct word.


The Present Perfect Progressive tense in Malay grammar, unlike in English, does not have a specific verb form indicator. It is usually realized by using adverbs or time phrases to signal an on-going action that started in the past and continues to the present. The present perfect progressive tense in Malay is often expressed by the structure “sudah + verb + selama + time period”. Here, the verb is in the root form and the word “sudah” gives the meaning of an action that began in the past and continues to the present. “Selama” is used to express the duration of the action.
