The second past tense in Norwegian is called "Perfektum", and is formed as follows:
Han rydder stua.
Han ryddet stua.
Han har ryddet stua.
Han spiser middag.
Han spiste middag.
Han har spist middag.
The general rule is this: Put "har" in front, and then the simple past form - but if that ends on a vowel; cut if off..
Some exceptions:
går - gikk - har gått
ser - så - har sett
er - var - har vært
To switch to present perfect::
Han går til tannlegen.
De er på fjelltur.
