  • Perfective and Imperfective verbs in Serbo-Croatian

    These two verb forms are one of the hardest grammar topics for foreign students. But everything can be improved with practice.

    Do the following exercises. You don’t have to do both Croatian and Serbian versions to submit the quiz, but only one is enough.

    Quick Reminder:

    • perfective form is used for completed, finished action
    • imperfective form we use for not completed, not finished, repeated or long-lasting action

    ZADATAK

    Complete the text with the correct form of the verb. Consider using perfective or imperfective form, depending on the context.

    Example:

    doฤ‡i (svrลกeni/perfective) – dolaziti (nesvrลกeni/imperfective)

    Juฤer smo ______ u restoran kasno. Kad je konobar vidio da ________ , odmah je krenuo donositi tanjure.

    ODGOVOR: Juฤer smo doลกli u restoran kasno. Kad je konobar vidio da dolazimo, odmah je krenuo donositi tanjure.

    vratiti se (svrลกeni/perfective) – vraฤ‡ati se (nesvrลกeni/imperfective)
