Questions & Answers about Vi kiggede på planeten med teleskopet.
How can I add "an hour ago" to this sentence using the "for ... siden" structure from this lesson?
You can place it at the very end of the sentence. "An hour" is en time, so "an hour ago" becomes for en time siden. The full sentence would be: Vi kiggede på planeten med teleskopet for en time siden.
Why do we use på right after kiggede?
In Danish, the verb kigge (to look) naturally pairs with the preposition på when you mean "look at" something. It is a fixed combination you will use very often.
Why does planeten end in -en while teleskopet ends in -et?
Both words are in the definite form to mean "the" but they belong to different noun genders. Planet is a common gender noun (en planet), so it gets the -en ending. Teleskop is a neuter noun (et teleskop), taking the -et ending.
How is the past tense formed for the verb kigge in this sentence?
Kigge is a regular verb. To make it past tense, you add the ending -ede to the verb stem, changing it from the present tense kigger to the past tense kiggede.
