Since there aren't many exercises on perfective and imperfective aspect in Serbian, I'll share all my video lessons and exercises for you to practice.
Aspect in Serbian - Short Explanation
The easiest way to see the difference and the most frequent forms are to contrast present and past tense in Serbian.
Aspect in Serbian - Trošiti vs Potrošiti
- The Perfective Aspect of the verbs in Serbian shows most naturally in the past tense, denoting the finished action: Potrošila sam puno novca na kompjuter (I have spent /I spent a lot of money on the computer)
- The Imperfective Aspect shows clearly in the present tense, showing duration: Dok ti štediš novac, ja ga trošim (While you are saving money, I am spending it) - HOWEVER, it can be used for regular actions and habits as well: koliko novca trošiš svakog mesec? (how much money do you spend each month)

Therefore, this word order exercise is dedicated only to this clear PRESENT/PAST distinction
