Understanding the Македонски Past Perfect Tense
The Past Perfect Tense in Macedonian is used to talk about something that happened before another action in the past. It's like saying, 'I had already done my homework before dinner.'
Important Points
- The Past Perfect Tense is made up of two parts: the verb 'to have' in the past tense and the past participle of the main verb.
- In Macedonian, 'to have' is 'имав' for singular and 'имавме' for plural.
- The past participle is often formed by adding '-л' to the verb stem, but it can vary based on the verb.
Examples
- Јас имав јадено пред да дојде.
- Тие имале видено филмот пред нас.
- Ние имавме завршено учење пред да започне забавата.
Remember, the Past Perfect Tense helps us understand the order of events in the past. It tells us which action happened first.
Important Points
- Use 'имав' for 'I had' or 'we had'.
- Use the past participle of the main verb to show what action happened.
Examples
- Таа имала прочитано книгата пред да ја купам.
- Ние имавме играно надвор пред дождот да почне.
