Present Perfect vs. Past Perfect Exercises For Norwegian Grammar

Enjoy language learning with fun grammar exercises 

In Norwegian grammar, Present Perfect (Presens Perfectum) and Past Perfect (Preteritum Perfectum) play a significant role. They are tenses used to express actions that have happened at an unspecified time before now and actions that were completed before another action took place, respectively. While Present Perfect is formed by combining present tense of ‘to have’ (har) and the past participle of the main verb, Past Perfect is combined by past tense of ‘to have’ (hadde) and the past participle of the main verb.
