Simple vs Progressive Exercises For Bulgarian Grammar

Daily language drills focused on grammar

In Bulgarian grammar, the Simple aspect is used for actions that are completed, while the Progressive aspect is used for actions that are ongoing or in progress. The Simple aspect can occur in the past, present, and future, while the Progressive occurs mainly in the present and past. For instance, “аз ям” (I eat) is in the Present Simple, and “аз съм ял” (I have eaten) is in the Present Perfect (Simple aspect). On the other hand, “аз съм се храня” (I am eating) is in the Present Progressive, while “аз съм се хранел” (I was eating) is in the Past Progressive. In this exercise, you will practice connecting the right verbs with the right aspect in Bulgarian grammar.
