Description

In this episode we'll go through the "Preteritum" - Simple Past tense! A big step in language learning and the beginner's level :)

The main rule is this: add the ending "-te" or "-et". 

If you have one consonant towards the end of the verb (in infintive), you add "-te". If there are two consonants, add "-et".

Examples: Jeg spiser middag. Jeg spiste middag.

Han vasker bilen. Han vasket bilen.

Some exceptions: går - gikk er - var sier - sa gjør - gjorde

To switch: Han går til jobben. Hun sier hei! Han gjør hjemmearbeid.

..

Great work!! 😊
