Review Summary

  • Unidirectional (specific goal) vs. Multidirectional (habitual/round-trip)

أخطاء شائعة

You used the unidirectional 'jedu' for a habitual action. Since it happens every day, you must use the multidirectional 'jezdím'.

Wrong: Každý den jedu do školy autobusem.
صحيح: Každý den jezdím do školy autobusem.

You are going once, right now, so 'chodím' (habitual) is incorrect. Use 'jdu'.

Wrong: Dnes chodím do obchodu.
صحيح: Dnes jdu do obchodu.

If you are walking, you must use the 'jít' root. 'Jet' implies a vehicle.

Wrong: Jedu do práce pěšky.
صحيح: Jdu do práce pěšky.
