Present Progressive Exercises For Icelandic Grammar

Practice making sentences using grammar exercises 

The Present Progressive in Icelandic grammar is used to express an ongoing action in the present. It is constructed similarly to the Present Progressive in English and many other languages, by using the present form of the verb “to be” followed by the present participle of the main verb. However, it’s crucial to note that Icelandic often uses the simple present tense where English would use the present progressive. Now let’s practice the Icelandic perpetuation exercises respectively.
