Basic Grammar #9 - Simple Past! Han gjorde, de spiste, vi malte etc.
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!! 😊
