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!!
