The use of present tense The present tense is used to express that something is happening at the present moment, or to express that something is a usual/habitual statement. A present tense verb can also be used to describe events that will take place in the future. While English has two different ways to describe an event in the present, you use only one form in Norwegian. Present moment Anne spiser lunsj nå. (Anne is eating lunch now.) Usual statements Anne spiser lunsj hver dag. (Anne eats lunch every day.) Future When you use a present tense form to talk about the future, you have to add an adverb or adverbial phrase that indicates when in the future the event will take place. Når kommer du i ettermiddag? Jeg jobber i kveld. Vi drar til Oslo senere i dag. Kommer du rett hjem etter jobb? Jeg har ikke tid i morgen. Vi får besøk til helgen. Drar du til Spania neste uke? De kommer hjem om to dager. 3

Grunnloven 1814-2014 In 2014 we are celebrating the 200 years anniversary for our constitution. The most democratic constitution of it`s time in Europe. Why and how was this small and poor country able to create such a document? The Kalmar union In 1397 Norway, Sweden and Denmark went into this union as independent countries. Together they were stronger, and could easier defend themselves both military and economically. In 1523 Sweden left the union, and in 1536 Norway quit to exist as a country and became a part of Denmark. Napoleonic wars During the Napoleonic wars, Denmark- Norway was supporting Napoleon. When the wars ended, they belonged to the losers and had to pay for it. I January 1814 it was decided that Denmark had to give Norway to Sweden as compensation. (Sweden belonged to the winning side) Norway had other plans. The constitution Christian Fredrik, the Danish crown prince was at that time the general governor of Norway, and he wanted to be king in an independent Norway. The Norwegians rejected a new absolute monarch and instead wanted a liberal constitution; therefore, representatives from the entire country were elected to create a constitution. In April 1814 112 elected persons met at Eidsvoll, and after 6 weeks, the 17 th of May the constitution was signed. According to the document, power would be split between the king and the parliament. King Carl Johan of Sweden invaded Norway in late July, and in November the parliament approved a new union, this time with Sweden. The way to complete freedom Norway went in to the union as an independent country with domestic rule. The constitution gave the king suspensive veto, which meant that he could only refuse to accept a new law three times. In 1884 the principle of parliamentarism was introduced in Norway, as the first European country, against the kings will. This gave of course Stortinget (the parliament) increasing power, and led up to the final end of the union in 1905. It all started with the constitution, and the national day of Norway is the 17 th of May, the day our constitution was signed. 5
