Simple vs. Progressive Exercises For Macedonian Grammar

In the Macedonian language, the simple tense is typically used to denote actions that are concluded, in the past or generally true. On the other hand, the progressive tense, or rather the ‘Imperfect’ tense in Macedonian, indicates ongoing actions or states particularly in the past. While it primarily marks imperfective aspect in verbs, it often indicates a progressive sense similar to the one in English progressive constructions.
