  • Subject + би + Verb

Häufige Fehler

Do not use 'ще' (future marker) inside the 'ако' clause. Use present tense instead.

Wrong: Ако ще вали, няма да изляза.
Richtig: Ако вали, няма да изляза. (If it rains, I won't go out.)

After 'дано', use the perfective aspect to show a specific desired outcome.

Wrong: Дано той идва.
Richtig: Дано той дойде. (Hopefully he comes.)

The particle 'би' requires the correct conjugation for the subject (бих, би, бихме, etc.).

Wrong: Аз би отида.
Richtig: Аз бих отишъл. (I would go.)
