Review Summary

  • Infinitive + lu + em/es/e...

Errores comunes

You must include the auxiliary verb 'em' to complete the future tense structure.

Wrong: Yes gnalu.
Correcto: Yes gnalu em.

The 'chem' already contains the negation and the auxiliary, so you don't need 'em' again.

Wrong: Yes chem gnalu em.
Correcto: Yes chem gnalu.

Ensure the subject is placed correctly before the verb.

Wrong: Vaghy eghanaky klini andzrev.
Correcto: Vaghy andzrev klini.
