afleverede

Afleverede is the preterite (simple past) form of the Danish verb aflevere, meaning to deliver, hand in, or submit. It is used to describe actions that were completed in the past and follows the standard Danish verb conjugation for all subjects: jeg afleverede, du afleverede, han/hun/den/det afleverede, vi afleverede, I afleverede, de afleverede.

Etymology and forms: The verb aflevere consists of the prefix af- plus levere (to deliver). The past participle form is afleveret, which is used with have or be to form perfect tenses, as in jeg har afleveret rapporten or rapporten blev afleveret. The form afleverede cannot be used as a past participle; it is specifically the simple past tense.

Usage notes: Afleverede typically appears in narrative past tense, reports, or statements about past actions. It is not used for ongoing or future actions. In passive constructions, the corresponding form is not afleverede but the past participle with an auxiliary, for example: rapporten blev afleveret (the report was delivered).

Examples:

- Vi afleverede rapporten i går. (We delivered/submitted the report yesterday.)

- Han afleverede alle nødvendige dokumenter. (He submitted all the necessary documents.)

- Rapporten blev afleveret klokken fem. (The report was delivered at five o’clock.)

For learners, a key distinction is that afleverede is the simple past form, while afleveret is the past participle used in perfect or passive structures. See also aflevere (the base verb) and afleveret (the participle).
