Description:

The second past tense in Norwegian is called "Perfektum", and is formed as follows:

Han rydder stua.
Han ryddet stua.
Han har ryddet stua.

Han spiser middag.
Han spiste middag.
Han har spist middag.

The general rule is this: Put "har" in front, and then the simple past form - but if that ends on a vowel; cut if off..

Some exceptions:
går - gikk - har gått
ser - så - har sett
er - var - har vært

To switch to present perfect::
Han går til tannlegen.
De er på fjelltur.

Great work!!
