Review Summary

  • Noun + na/ng + Modifier/Clause

Häufige Fehler

When the preceding word ends in a vowel, you must use the '-ng' clitic instead of the full 'na'.

Wrong: Ang lalaki na kumakain
Richtig: Ang lalaking kumakain

In Filipino relative clauses, the noun usually comes before the modifier.

Wrong: Kumakain na lalaki
Richtig: Lalaking kumakain

Avoid using 'siya' (it) redundantly; the 'na/ng' already establishes the link.

Wrong: Ang libro na binabasa ko siya
Richtig: Ang librong binabasa ko
