In Norwegian there are three versions of an adjective; for male/female singular, netural singular, and for the plurals. So a word like "nice" could be "fin", "fint" or "fine". Example: en fin bil et fint hus fine kopper Fill-ins: en ........ (fin) kopp et ........ (stor) eple mange ........ (varm) votter Great work! 😊 Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/br...

In Norwegian there are two forms of most adverbs like up, down, in, out, home, away etc. One is for standing still or being in the same context, one is for moving or changing context. Example: Han går hjem => Han er hjemme. De går ut => De er ute. Fill in: Hun går opp. Hun er ....... De kommer hit. De er .......

In Norwegian we have the helping verbs "skal, vil, kan, må" meaning "shall, will, can, must".

De går på ski i skogen. Excellent work!! Now you know how to use helping verbs...
