Review Summary

  • Verb Root + -а/-е/-й + Personal Ending
  • Verb Root + -мақ/-мек + Personal Ending

Errores comunes

Do not use the infinitive (-у) with personal endings for the future. You must use the future stem -а/-е.

Wrong: Мен ертең барумын.
Correcto: Мен ертең барамын.

In Kazakh, the negative verb 'келмейді' (he/she will not come) stands alone. Do not add 'бар' or other auxiliary verbs unnecessarily.

Wrong: Ол келмейді бар.
Correcto: Ол келмейді.

Ensure the personal ending matches the subject. 'Жазбақмын' is incorrect because 'Мен' requires '-пын' after the 'қ' in 'жазбақ'.

Wrong: Мен жазбақмын ба?
Correcto: Мен жазбақпын ба?
