Merhabalar!

I know that both English and Turkish have a present progressive tense (the -yor- tense in Turkish ex: gidiyorum) and a present simple (the -r- tense in Turkish ex: giderim).

In Turkish, does this similarity also occur in the past tense? Is there a simple, or definite, past and a past progressive? If so, could you please give me examples?

Teşekkür ederim!

Hi Monkey,

Yes there is also past progresive tense in the Turkish language.

For example: sen geldiğinde ben yatıyordum - I was sleeping when you came.

Hope this helps...

Cheers,

Carl
