Men nu, er det død.

Men nu er den død.

Fixed :)

[arielkangaroo]

Tak! But why is it den and not det :o

[deactivated user]

Because we are talking about the cat which is common gender. (en kat)

prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The d is soft in Danish, so is the r - I only knew it was past tense because the lesson is about that. I wonder how difficult it would be to hear the difference in a real conversation. :( Soon to find out, I guess?

Why can't it be "The girl was loving her cat"?
For present it could be both present simple and continuous. I see that past simple fits better here, but could it be the other as well?

[MatthewRan674364]

But this sentence could mean that she might have loved the cat but not anymore or maybe it was dead, meaning she had loved the cat before.

It's poor English
