3. Romanian grammar: present tense of "to be" and "to have"

About this course

In eight lessons, in less than 90 minutes, you will master the present tense of most used verbs in the Romanian language:To be at present tense affirmative, interrogative and negativeTo have at present tense affirmative, interrogative and negativeThe course comes with two practice tests cumulating 160 teachers validated questions concerning the listed topics. Those are linked to ALL spoken forms of these verbs (abbreviated or lacking pronouns) for a better understanding during communication. Many Romanians, in usual conversations, don’t use the pure grammar forms of these verbs in the present tense, and there is an absolute need to know them to spot them in spoken language.Besides the main topic, as a bonus, there are three vocabulary lessons (house-related, nationalities, and sentences/phrases used to establish a closer relation or – if needed – to break it) and the numerals from 1 to 12.This course aims to deliver you the knowledge that will enable you to understand various forms of the verbs "a fi" and "a avea," including those largely used in spoken language and rarely touched in official courses as they are not in line with the "official" / colloquial language. To ensure a smooth progression, if you start from 0, please make sure you study before the previous (free of charge) course I prepared on phonetics.Good luck!
