Har ikke set / for ti minutter siden

In a main clause, ikke comes after the finite auxiliary and before the participle: jeg har ikke set ham.

A finished past time often takes simple past: jeg lagde det her for ti minutter siden.

Use for … siden to mean ago. Irregular past forms needed by the festival are introduced as a small, useful group rather than an exhaustive table.

Spillede / så / gik

Regular simple past often ends in -ede or -te: spillede, arbejdede, hørte.

Common irregular verbs must be learned: se → så, gå → gik, finde → fandt, komme → kom.

These forms are the same for every person and sex.

With an explicit finished time such as i går, the simple past is the natural choice.

Begyndte / faldt / skreg

Retell events with short past clauses. Begynde → begyndte, falde → faldt, skrige → skreg, røre → rørte are useful here.

If a time or sequence phrase starts a main clause, keep verb-second order: Klokken otte begyndte koncerten, så gik jeg hjem.

A question still places the verb before the subject: Hvad skete der?

Vi var / I sov

Past forms do not change for plural subjects: vi var, I sov, de hørte. Make questions by inversion: Sov du?, Hvor var I? Negative past statements place ikke after the finite verb: jeg sov ikke.

Object pronouns remain the same in the past.

Vil sende / i morgen sender jeg

For a future plan, use present tense with a future time: I morgen sender jeg billedet. Vil plus infinitive often expresses willingness or a promise: jeg vil hjælpe. Skal plus infinitive can mark an arrangement.

The infinitive takes no at after these modal verbs. End a friendly letter with Kærlig hilsen and your name.
