Wichtige Grammatik
Regular -e verbs in Norwegian follow a consistent conjugation pattern in the present tense: add -r to the infinitive form. For example, 'trene' (to exercise) becomes 'trener' (exercises).
Jeg trener hver dag. (I exercise every day.)
When using 'trene' with a direct object, the object comes after the verb. For instance, 'å trene en hund' (to train a dog).
Hun trener hunden sin. (She trains her dog.)
To form the past tense of regular -e verbs, remove the -e from the infinitive and add -te. So, 'trene' becomes 'trente' (exercised).
Vi trente i går. (We exercised yesterday.)
For the present perfect tense, use 'har' (have) followed by the past participle. The past participle of 'trene' is 'trent'.
De har trent mye. (They have exercised a lot.)
The infinitive form 'trene' is often used after modal verbs like 'kan' (can), 'vil' (will), or 'må' (must).
Jeg vil trene mer. (I want to exercise more.)
